Admongers are delusional. Why would they believe that simply seeing a product in a show would make someone buy it? All this will do is degrade the show and maybe get a laugh when it goes wrong

Advertising (even base advertising) works because deep down we all still have primitive monkey brain neurons that strengthen when repeatedly exposed to a stimulus. Businesses, governments, and others are all convinced too, which is ironically further proof it's effective.

I’m seeing more that advertising goes too hard these days and makes people feel hate and resentment for whatever is being advertised. It’s definitely supposed to be a balancing act but things are getting out of hand and greedy lately.

They spend 100s of billions every year on research determining how much they advertise vs rate of return. So I agree that its getting out of hand, but it must still be working.

They know more about this than you. Seeing a product once won’t. But seeing it a dozen times or more, starts to normalize it. It becomes a default presence in your worldview, and can start to become a default choice when you are thinking or products of this type.

There is a reason even if you don’t buy coke, you definitely think about it when the concept of colas comes forward.
