Too many people here are saying that ads don’t work.
Whether they work or not doesn’t matter. The problem is that ads are literally designed and optimized to manipulate you out of your money, and to cause you to make decisions on emotion rather than reason. This is unethical at its core. How most people are ambivalent towards companies manipulating us is beyond me.
Yeah it kinda blows my mind with politics. Time and again more money means more ads and results in more wins. I mean its not 100% but its enough that if someone wins while spending less and is not the incumbent its a news item. We have an open senate seat here and the front runner with the war chest is the one I least want to win. I really don’t get it as I find most ads turn me off to their subject. I mean even negative ads about the opponent turn ya off to the one its for. But obviously it seems to work overall. I hate it.
