You don’t need remember ads. You see ads, then you notice the item in the store. Remembering the ad is not the point. the point of the ad is to keep you reminded that the item/service exists. You are not immune. Sorry.
I have yet to buy a thing that i randomly saw in store. I go to the store cause i need something and i leave with what i needed, and only that.
So, in your entire life – You’ve never seen an ad for a product / service / event and said, oh - that’s interesting - I’ll check that out.
You’ve never seen a movie trailer and been like “oh cool - that movie looks fun, I’ll go see that.”
You’ve never gotten an email to remind you that something you’ve been interested in finally became available so you can finally pick it up?
Shit. You are an advertisement. You can’t tell me you’ve never worn a piece of clothing that didn’t have a label on it or seen someone else cool hat / shirt / jacket with a logo and then check that out.
Advertising is not just “getting a item at the store that you didnt intend to buy” - advertising is a long con. Advertising is everywhere, To think that advertising has never swayed you in any way is ignorant.
- No i haven’t
- No i haven’t
- No i haven’t
- No im not, i always buy clothes, from whatever is the first brand i happend to grab, that also suits me. In fact i absolutely despise brand logos on anything i own. Hell i cover up my phones logo with a popsocket or similar.
To think everyone is as vulnerable to ads as some random dude says, or as a handful of studies with like 1000 people show is the ignorant thing here. Not everyone is the same. And if i think about all the comments i have seen under videos that talked about exactly that, then ads seem to even have a negative effect when presented to younger generations, gen z for example.
Also you can just avoid ads. Click no on every optional setting on websites etc., use an ad-blocker, Sponsorblock for YouTube. When outside pit your headphones in/on and listen to your favourite music, and don’t look anywhere you are not going. Ads are only everywhere if you let them be
