Nuke advertising and you evict poor people into a ghetto web. Advertising is why poor people can have exactly the same gmail account with all the same features as a rich guy can. My point is to claim poor people are exploited by advertising is nuts. There are lots of things you can do to increase sales and which can count as marketing of some kind. My point is they don't exert the kind of scary mind control power that some people like to pretend they do - adverts increase sales, but so does having a shop window with your goods on display, so does putting your products in specialised parts catalogues, whatever. I never said ads don't influence behaviour.

why the hell are they spamming me with their commercials? Yes, I DO know about the f* product, I already DO have a favorite brand, and a commercial is not going to make me switch.īut sometimes, extremely rarely, I do learn about a new product (through any kind of ad - TV or web) that may interest me and then I look for more information or just buy it to test it if it's something cheap (like, e.g., a new coke edition). Traditional TV has become a non-option to me, not the least because I don't want to arrange my life after the TV scheme. If I'm too frequently interrupted, I lose interest and find something else to do. I am the master of my attention span, not the advertisers or the broadcaster. I don't understand why they put up with it. My first impression is that every show is hopelessly interspersed with frequent commercials. I don't own a TV anymore, but when I'm visiting relatives, I do watch it a bit on a rare occasion. Is it? Or is it to make people aware of product existing? It's a subtle difference. The whole point of ads is to convince people to buy things that they may otherwise not.
