Some companies spend a lot on advertising but their product does not sell. How does your model explains this ?

Of course there are many factors involved, but in the end increased demand is the primary goal of advertising.

If it were purely about informing that the product exists, ads could just be text instead of flashy animated popups. That's a form of advertising I could get behind. Would even be more accessible.
