HSFBfan Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Does advertising get you to buy products? I thought this would be a good social experiment. To see if people actually watch advertisements and if you actually go out and buy a product based upon the commercial billboard etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlockIsHot Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Anyone who says no is an idiot. Certain advertisements may not affect everyone. But every single person has been swayed by an ad at some point in their lives. That is why companies and election campaigns spend millions on advertising. You right wingers should be very aware of the social media bots that targeted you the last few years on social media. And don't pretend you have no clue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont have to buy into the commercial billboard or the like. Some people can think for themselves and know what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Ads definitely work. Why else would companies spend millions on research organizations in order to learn how to target specific demographics? Why would the Trump election campaign pay Cambridge Analytica to research and eventually steal a lot of info on people from facebook? They needed the info in order to specifically tailor and target ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly avoid all of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People gravitate to things that match their basic needs, desires and outcomes. Right im not making it a political things. Im just saying people opened up their whole lives to be exploited by facebook. Now maybe they will realize they need to not put their entire lives out there.

I pay for Google Play and Youtube Red. Zero ads on Youtube that way. No ads on the Google play music streaming either. Ad blockers on all of my devices. The only places I see ads are, billboards, regular radio, newspapers, magazines, in stores, on peoples clothing, all manner of signage, etc. etc. There is no way to avoid advertising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
