I can confidently guarantee that the traditional TV advertisement has no effect on me. Astroturfing definately has an effect on everyone though.

- NiloCK 6mo agoYou've never learned about a service or product from a TV ad?
- Jtarii 6mo agoMaybe 20 years ago? I don't watch TV and have used an adblocker for the past 15 years. There is almost no way advertisers can even reach me. I also don't buy things very often.
- quectophoton 6mo agoI don't know, if I didn't know Mullvad or GrapheneOS, and saw ad on TV, I'd probably check it out. Or an ad about an ISP with IPv6 support, at the very least it would make me check if my current ISP finally added support, and consider options otherwise. Or one about some new colocation service that happens to open near my location, you bet I'd check out their website and maybe even pay them a visit. (I don't watch TV, but my point stands.)
