Comment on How com the ad industry make so much money?

Instead, it just means that when Jerry, who is really busy because of his kids and career and hobbies has State Farm hike his rates, he will think “those motherfuckers! Who else sells insurance?” And will then remember the jingle.

if you’ve deliberately changed someone’s behavior to align with what you want, then who cares what anyone calls it? the end result is the same- the ads worked

I mean, sure. But if that’s your standard for “mind control” then asking someone to pass the salt counts, too
