I often feel a bit sorry for advertisers and consider they are simply wasting their money and effort. I have no more inclination to buy a car I saw parked on top of a giant rock on TV than I did before I saw the ad. I have no more inclination to drink a coke than I did before I saw the ad. The only ad I remember following or taking an interest in within recent memory was for a drone on youtube. Out of the thousands and thousands seen over the past decade. I realize maybe I'm not typical... but I simply can't fathom how commercials for things like shampoo on TV impress anyone. Are people really still susceptible in this day and age? I just don't get it.
