If I see the existence of a product being acknowledged in any way, I just assume it's an ad.
Now, you want me to actually go to your store and try your product? Put some promotional coupons in my mailbox, I love that shit.

Yes, and now it’s not a subconscious message, but one I consciously loathe.
No, now when I see an ad I just hate it, the more I see your BS in a paid promotion, the less that I'll want it.
I’m not watching ads, just a hydration break.
They actually plan on ads being tuned out, it's more about choking out the presence of competitors than it is actually convincing the audience that their product is worth while; y'know, like a weed.
Either way, I don't fall for it because I just make sure to type in "Reddit," right after my search for a product I want so that I get honest human reviews and not ads. 😏
