    This is the key.

    Ads don’t care if you like or don’t like them, as long as you remember them.

    The worst thing an ad can do is be forgettable

      Disagree.

      I may be in the minority but the more I know about you, the less I ever want you in my house.

      I will literally go by an LG Washing Machine out of spite because Sony showed up too much in ads.

        They are playing statistics, most people that think they are immune to ads are full of shit and even if they somehow defy common human behavior it isn’t really relevant to an advertising effort that doesn’t care about the minority.

          people always say this, but at the same time everyone i talk to goes out of their way to avoid companies with annoying ads It really starts to just feel like propaganda at this point

      I don’t know how having me associate their name with a spike of rage is a good thing. There are definitely companies I went from being neutral towards to never considering them again due to their advertising methods. For example I’ve never eaten at Quiznos because of those fucking rat commercials they did like 20 years ago. I’m not even sure if that place still exists or not. I hope not, and I hope whoever came up with those commercials is dead.

      Every single ad these days go into a memory black hole. They are so irritating, so invasive, so EVERYWHERE; that I instinctively dissociate from anything in them.

      They won’t get my conscious or subconscious attention. All of my large purchases are researched a minimum 2 weeks in advance and anything small is done on a case by case basis (of which I intentionally scrutinize anything I might have “heard of” because I’m aware of the phenomenon. Fuck all ads, they are my enemy.

        literally the only ad i can think of off the top of my head is that airline booking site with adorable kittens in stitched airplane suits, because obviously that occupies a significant part of my brain at all times

        And i don’t understand how companies fail to realize that cute animals make ads infinitely more appealing, that gives me a reason to maybe actually continue watching it, because i gain something from doing so
