  • Ads can work on me but it’s context dependent.

    If it’s something I was already aware of and wanting, I have noticed that it can push my mind further in the direction of wanting to get it.

    The other context is food. Like, if I’m hungry and I see an ad for food, it always looks like it’d hit the spot even if I know it wouldn’t.

    Otherwise it just doesn’t actively do anything. If I need a product and have seen advertisements for a specific one, I still do research before choosing what to go with. And rarely ever is it the one I saw advertised.

    The psychology of advertising is very interesting especially when you can actively feel its effects on yourself, and when you can tell it’s doing nothing to you.
