Just as context, the vast majority of ad budgets are not tied to click through metrics. Ford & Coca Cola do not care a whit if you click on their ads.

The vast majority of advertising dollars are around a) brand recognition and b) spending to make sure that it’s the people they want to have brand recognition (for coke everyone, for Ford F-150 a particular demographic).

They believe this is important. They have years of evidence to prove it is & that you don’t think it works on you doesn’t matter to them.

The very fact that it works, is the reason it shouldn't be allowed.

They pay, your life changes, for their benefit. You have no say in it. It provably works even if you try to resist it, and don't consent to it.
