I'm a lot like you in a way, and I agree with what you said, but I just wanted to note that you are NOT invulnerable to marketing or ads. Advertisement (brainwashing) techniques have been researched for centuries, and with massive resources. I think even the very thing where some people think they can't be affected by marketing, is a marketing technique itself. Probably.

Possibly, but I encounter very, very few ads. So I might take a chance heard product and research it into a purchase, but I'm not going to do the "seven exposures and they're sure to buy" sort of thing.
