Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment
ji59@hilariouschaos.com 3 days agoThere are some exceptions, for example I still hate a company for their yt ads I saw before I figured out how to block them on phone. It has been like 6 years, the company was sold and name was changed, but I still remember to hate it and avoid it. Also, good products don’t need advertisement, so if I can remember I saw an ad for something, I’d prefer other brand.

Oh yeah? Name the best, highest quality product you’ve never heard of.

You don’t really see advertisements for things like mega yachts or helicopters. Or private jets.
Most things that you’ll have to talk to a dealer or rep for, you don’t actually see ads. Except maybe cars.

Those reps are advertising, just not to us.

Easy, look at a couple of comparison websites whenever you need a specific product, and compare them to each other.
You’ll get a somewhat unbiased idea of what the best product is to your specifications, and they are full of brands you never heard of.

I’ve got bad news about most comparison sites. They’re ads.

I never said that I shouldn’t hear about it, only it shouldn’t have advertising. So recommendations by friends are helpful, so is personal experience in a store or review by trusted source. And for example, all of FOSS software doesn’t have ads for them and often is better than paid counterparts.
