Immune to marketing

  Advertising has never worked on me, if I buy a product I was going to buy it anyway. I look at a product for exactly what it is, and not what a manufacturer promises it is, as such I’ve basically turned off any and all means for any entity to advertise towards me, after all I didn’t consent to seeing your shitty flashy banner ads, why should you have a say in whether I see it or not

    Sometimes it works on me but that’s unusual so it’s sets off a red flag in my head like “wait why do I want that thing so bad?” Which in turn makes advertising not work on me.

  I actually believe this about myself at times.

    I 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
