I’ve seen too many scam ads and generally bad products to buy anything that’s being advertised. If they’re advertising, there’s probably a reason why they didn’t have enough users already.

ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 year agoI know it about myself. In fact most advertisements have the opposite affect on me. Rather than making me want the product it makes me actively avoid it.

Same. I also remove as much advertising from my home life as possible (as I assume many of us do these days), turn the radio off in the car when ads play or change the channel, tune out when I’m forced to see them somewhere away from home and look at my phone, and full on mentally do my best to zone out when I hear them in stores.

I’m the same way. It annoys me so much and I end up avoiding brands that try to advertise too much. I also think that products that are actually good will market themselves in the end through word of mouth. Companies selling shitty product will spend more money on pummelling your brain with ads instead of you know, actually developing a good product.

Yeah, it’s kind of a zero-sum game. The more money a company spends on advertising, the less it has for development of a good product.
