It's fun that more than a century into a consumer based economy people still think: "ads don't work on me!".
Yeah dude, they do. Only way they don't is if you manage to avoid them altogether.
Amazon prime tv is awful with the forced ad breaks
I will not say I support the ads, but it is very interesting to see some of these scam ads that I see that played before videos especially the ones that talk about improving your sex drive. They are just very odd and I wouldn’t say concerning but just odd.
But you know the product and that is what is important for advertisers. Also it's important what happens subconsciously, not so much your first reaction to it.
Personally when I need something and have seen an ad for a product that fits the need, I'll buy it. If I've seen the ad so much that it's seared into my brain, I search for the product and buy the ripoff version of it (when possible), or I DIY it.
Edit: corrected autocorrect
Especially those sponsor segment that have nothing to do with me because i'm not from the west.
Advertising is one of the most prolific environmental pollutants of economic activity, and needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.
Id argue its worse than smoking. Its closer to successfully lobbying the government to force doctors to recommended smoking for newborns.
I guess you aren't european then
'Well how do you expect us the make billions in profit every year?' - google probably
If a person comes to my door and rings the bell after reading my sign that says, "don't ring unless emergency"...I enjoy giving them my full vocabulary of curses. People are stupid. A person is smart.
In the inverse 5 sec content sponsored by for the whole video I may google the company
