Advertising adds no value to society

I find zero purveyors of information that would cause me to purchase anything.

It's not about making you immediately going out to buy something. It's the subliminal messaging for the next time you are at the store buying sodas or need car insurance.

You have purchased from targeted ads and not even known it.

It adds value for companies, which are part of society, obviously.

I hate it, especially with how repeatedly they play certain commercials. It gets old quick. That said, advertising is geared towards idiots. If you see an ad and let that sway you to buy a product without knowing anything else, you're an idiot. So, about half of America probably think ads are a reasonable thing.

What kind of good does it make society do? Or does society do well?

Where would cdc paid ads for the covid shot rank as having an influence?

You would likely not have a football game to watch without those dumb ads subsidizing your free viewing

NGL the Chipotle commercial on the game made me want to go there if one was around here.

Not this shite again.

You think TD stays up and running by the grace of government grants and pixie dust?

You’re standing on an ad-driven soapbox, shouting your disdain for ads.

Watching the ads associated with football play offs, I find zero purveyors of information that would cause me to purchase anything.

So one person not getting anything from TV ads is the litmus test.

Makes sense.

Then you don't understand marketing. You think they spend all that money to run ads just for the hell of it?
