Why did they want the pedometer? Did they come to that desire in isolation, or were they advertised to by the pedometer maker?

Maybe they're humans with agency? Just a thought.

I feel this line of thinking leads to no where.

What is "in isolation"? I'd honestly be shocked if the majority of people buying this pedometer were buying it due to an ad of any sort. Seems more likely they simply needed a pedometer. They needed one because they wanted to count steps... etc, etc, eudemonia
