    Yeah, this is like saying “ads don’t work on me”. It fundamentally misunderstands pretty much everything about the topic.

      this has always just felt like propaganda from marketing people to sustain their business of selling ads to companies lol, like no most ads don’t fucking make me buy their stuff.

      SOME ads make me buy their stuff, ads that are just “here’s our product, our product is good for these reasons, also here’s a cute cat”.

      But ads that make me cringe with force enough to crack my spine do not fucking inspire me to buy anything from the company, they make me go out of my way to never ever support the company if i can at all help it.

      Some ads definitely have the opposite affect on me. I will never buy anything from Shane Co. I never want to hear another ad of theirs in my lifetime.

        It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t work on you. People have studied it, and the number don’t lie. It increases sales, and profits over the general population.
