Indeed, you remember the brand, but forget how you got to know it. So even though you learned about something through ads, and you hate ads, eventually you'll forget that it was ads that put it in your brain, but you'll still remember the brand.

That's why I call ads psychological violence. They force themselves in your brain and there's nothing you can do against it

We need a worst offenders list so that every day we can look at the list and make a point to say something disparaging about that company.

That way it won't be:

> nothing you can do

Then we'll have pretty retribution.
