This is basically the algorithms of the big tech companies but with extra steps. I guess it greatly illustrates how absurd they actually are and how weird it is to just shrug them off.
The best part? Nobody can agree if advertising ala commercials actually works.
That sounds like misinterpretation of studies if I had to guess. If anything maybe it would be how well they work at certain investment levels with breakpoints where it is no longer worth putting in additional money, or the efficacy of CERTAIN types of advertising. But IF they work at all? I am highly suspect of that even being a question. Brands that are well advertised are well known, and people who aren’t bothered to do research into every single product they buy are more likely to buy a product they have heard of before.
And if you’re an independent creative, like author, artist, musician, developer, and you DON’T advertise, you will sell zero copies of your work.
“Nobody can agree”?
Is this kind of like how nobody can agree on whether we landed on the moon or whether climate change is real?
Anecdotal, but I’ve boycotted products or stores because of annoying ads in the past. And even clever or entertaining ads eventually get annoying if they are shown too much.
I block most ads these days, so longer contribute to the negative ad returns like I used to, but I am curious about how many others like me are out there.
