Ads work. Consumer behavior is among the most studied phenomenoms in the world.
It’s almost like there’s a multi billion industry based on it!
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
I also sometimes consciously dislike things because of annoying ads.
But it doesn’t matter. The overall result is that now you’re aware of that brand, you have a place for it in memory. After time passes it will be The One I’ve Heard Of unless you’re dedicated to remembering to avoid it. There’s something called the Mere Exposure Effect - it mostly works and they know it. :(
"You are without a doubt the worst product I’ve ever heard of.”
“But you have heard of me."
Sorry but wrong. You are not going to win this kind of battle against advertisers. If you notice the intrusion and hate the product, you weren’t in the market for their product in the first place. They don’t care that you hate their company. When you are in the market for the product, you won’t notice the intrusion or it won’t matter if you do; the ad is still increasing your exposure to their product in the ways that increase your chances of buying.
I agree with this. Ads contaminate your mind, so make sure to use ad blockers. But also help your friends set up ad blockers, because if their minds are contaminated, it will spread to you.
You know I cannot be the only one that will consciously decide to not buy brands that make intrusive adverts. But, they must also know that. So I can only assume that the majority of people don’t think the same and it’s an overall upside for these annoying ads.
Adblockers are not that difficult to install, so I’d guess the slice of people who really resent ads enough to actually make purchasing decisions out of spite but also who still watch them isn’t that big.
Correct. Ads work extremely well. The simple and short explanation is that most people are dumb.
People are responding with ad block but as much as I hate them I kinda like being aware of what they are. Anyone who is confused about why our country is where its at go turn off your ad blockers for videos.
