    It would be a good rebuttal if there wasn’t all the marketing and ads to consume.

    Ad agencies literally study what works and what doesn’t, always refining their techniques, so that they can sell you more shit.

        Literally not. This is human nature. If you think you aren’t affected by ads, think again.

        Marketing has researched what triggers our animal response, and we are affected to varying degrees. Some people more, some people less.

        But you most likely bought something because you saw an ad.

          Oh I am definitely affected by ads, because I’m completely fucking allergic to them. If I see an ad, I immediately don’t want to have anything to do with the product, and if it is a website I close it immediately if it forces me to watch it.
