    This is the key.

    Ads don’t care if you like or don’t like them, as long as you remember them.

    The worst thing an ad can do is be forgettable

      Every single ad these days go into a memory black hole. They are so irritating, so invasive, so EVERYWHERE; that I instinctively dissociate from anything in them.

      They won’t get my conscious or subconscious attention. All of my large purchases are researched a minimum 2 weeks in advance and anything small is done on a case by case basis (of which I intentionally scrutinize anything I might have “heard of” because I’m aware of the phenomenon. Fuck all ads, they are my enemy.

      Disagree.

      I may be in the minority but the more I know about you, the less I ever want you in my house.

      I will literally go by an LG Washing Machine out of spite because Sony showed up too much in ads.

        They are playing statistics, most people that think they are immune to ads are full of shit and even if they somehow defy common human behavior it isn’t really relevant to an advertising effort that doesn’t care about the minority.

      I don’t know how having me associate their name with a spike of rage is a good thing. There are definitely companies I went from being neutral towards to never considering them again due to their advertising methods. For example I’ve never eaten at Quiznos because of those fucking rat commercials they did like 20 years ago. I’m not even sure if that place still exists or not. I hope not, and I hope whoever came up with those commercials is dead.
