ads rule when they are relevant and suited for your needs.

if big data sama shows goons a 20% discount on mountain dew and cheeto combo b cause it knows you are most likely to buy them based on signals data with delivery, I'm pretty sure you all h bhapoy to buy.

ads rule, FB, googl and pretty much the world of consumer is based on advertising

people who think ads don't work on them, they do. Ads are info on brands or stuff you buy, whatever product you have on your head right now is product of tom (top of mind) and that was ad generated, either atl/btl / digital etc

but remember, the content is the ad, you can't scape product placement and ads generated with awseome content rule.

google and facbook care a poo poo lot about d cent ad practices

the products i have in mind right now were personally tested or recommended by people i trust in such matters. your cancerous money furnace of an industry had nothing to do with it

at the very best, an ad leaves me indifferent toward whatever crap it's peddling. most of the time though it makes me actively hostile toward it, depending how dumb the ad was

what's even the argument here? i see an ad and think about how lovely it was for a few seconds, it's a win? all publicity is good publicity? this is getting bitcoin levels of pathetic

i worked in telemarketing as a starving college student too so, yes, i know it works on some people, just like nigerian scams do. it doesn't work on a mass scale. stop huffing your own farts

b/c of this thread i was trying to think of where i actually do see advertising

-on tv during live sporting events
-maybe if you count things like signs by the highway for restaurants and gas thats off the exit?

i mean no one reads print magazines or watches live tv or reads the newspaper or goes to retail stores or listens to the radio anymore and my state doesnt allow highway billboards so all the places i used to see ads are just gone

I can't remember the last time any price point was mentioned in an ad let alone a discount the cost of things is dynamic now based on time of day, your location, device, etc. I'd assume any actual ad with a price baked in and not a "shopping link" was something like those invicta watches they say are $1000 msrp and they're "on sale" for $300 [they're actually like $20 watches]

dynamic pricing makes that obsolete, you only get discounts from visiting company sites or coupon scrapers

the people who make the ad units depend on them being deployed to 100000 different locations, they can barely manage ot make them at all the different sizes they need they're not going to do time sensitive content unless they really need to making ads is way mroe expensive than the airtime so you gotta leverage the crap out of all your creative

"idiot garbage goon it support jockeys " are the most relevant and valuable audice, according to my research on yospos sirs our industry is doomed.

advertising doesn't work on them like in 99% of the whole loving world.

fixed pricing for all customers is pretty much an invention of the american advertising industry circa 1920

prior to that it was normal to haggle over any purchase, and for shopkeepers to arbitrarily raise or lower prices depending on how much they liked you
