U always reply w this when someone online talks about how ads don't work on them
They can't work on you if you don't see them. My gal Ublock Origin taught me that.
Every logo on every product is an ad. Not to mention everything you come across on a stroll through town. Unless youre living that unabomber lifestyle you're absolutely exposed to ads.
Not if I blind myself with a rusty spoon
and deafen myself with a pointy loom
Oooo, while I do feel that I am very aware of, and hostile to, intrusive advertising online I have actually bought a few things specifically because I had seen them in an ad. It makes me feel a little conflicted but all of those things were extremely niche, so it took extremely targeted ads for things I would have eventually found on my own to actually make the sale.
