I cannot recall the last time I was swayed by an advertisement.

    I feel you and share your mindset. But most people don’t think about that stuff that way. And ads are not targeted at people like you to begin with, their goal is to reach amd influence the most people possible, but not all of them. Whatever works on the majority is a success.

      Yea, marketing people are smart. A regular Joe is at a disadvantage to them. (Or rather, anyone is at a disadvantage to someone who’s an expert in their field.) That’s why it’s important to spread the right message.

      Yeah, not everyone has the mental endurance to think about everything they buy, even stuff they don’t care too much about. A year ago I wanted to buy one of those minimalistic wallets, my dad told me he would get it to me for my birthday. Looked around and chose a cheapo rfid one, he bought a pair of ridge wallets because he had seen the name before. They were both the same.
