      Ads are a way to fill people’s heads with brand names until nothing remains except for those brands and only those brands feel safe and familiar until it becomes a conditioned reflex to choose those products. And it works.

      The Holy Market forbids people would actually choose products based on their own experience and price.

      Most ads are about brand recognition and not so much about trying to sell a specific product. Even if you think an ad is stupid, if you still can remember the brand then the ad worked.

        That generally just makes me remember not to use that product or service because the ad was so annoyingly stupid
