  Unfortunately, data shows that people prefer to be advertised to over receiving a better product.

    I think the data shows that advertisement is super effective, not that people prefer to be advertised. If people preferred advertising over a better product then games like Balatro, Vampire Survivors etc. literally couldn’t be successful, because those games had effectively zero marketing budget. Their success came from word-of-mouth because the game itself was great.

    Not so much a preference, more how the human brain work.

    Humans prefer what they know, so they will choose a brand that they’ve seen on TV over an unknown brand.
