But you know the product and that is what is important for advertisers. Also it’s important what happens subconsciously, not so much your first reaction to it.
I also sometimes consciously dislike things because of annoying ads.
But it doesn’t matter. The overall result is that now you’re aware of that brand, you have a place for it in memory. After time passes it will be The One I’ve Heard Of unless you’re dedicated to remembering to avoid it. There’s something called the Mere Exposure Effect - it mostly works and they know it. :(
“You are without a doubt the worst product I’ve ever heard of.”
“But you have heard of me.”
There 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.

…is what the 90% market leader says, who profits from it the most.
If your product can’t enter my world without you paying millions of dollars to interrupt my good time, I am positive I do not need to know about your product.
Especially those sponsor segment that have nothing to do with me because i’m not from the west.
Try SponsorBlock.
Advertising is one of the most prolific environmental pollutants of economic activity, and needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.
Id argue its worse than smoking. Its closer to successfully lobbying the government to force doctors to recommended smoking for newborns.
I guess you aren’t european then
If a person comes to my door and rings the bell after reading my sign that says, “don’t ring unless emergency”…I enjoy giving them my full vocabulary of curses. People are stupid. A person is smart.
‘Well how do you expect us the make billions in profit every year?’ - google probably
In the inverse 5 sec content sponsored by for the whole video I may google the company

Sorry but wrong. You are not going to win this kind of battle against advertisers. If you notice the intrusion and hate the product, you weren’t in the market for their product in the first place. They don’t care that you hate their company. When you are in the market for the product, you won’t notice the intrusion or it won’t matter if you do; the ad is still increasing your exposure to their product in the ways that increase your chances of buying.
