In reality, there is a lot of marketing that is completely unnoticeable. Some people would not even consider those things marketing. That is marketing done well (or at least better).
Camera people buy cameras. Particularly if your talking about lenses, I might buy 3 in a month.
Follow up ads might be very productive even if you personally get swept into the professional toilet installer ad pipeline inappropriately.
Anytime I use YT on a browser/profile that I'm not logged into, it's so jarring that I immediately fix it.
Edit: I dumped Spotify for YT music. I thought I liked Spotify better, though, so I tried again recently, and it turns out I didn't, so now I get YT and music for not much more than just Spotify. Definitely worth it in that context.
I’ll never feel bad about using Adblock, and I hate the idea of rewarding these companies’ behavior with money.
- Lies are ok
- Thrusting your product in a users face, doesn't care if the user cares, Just because I like golfing, doesn't mean every new golf ball brand needs to hit me up all the time.
- Product with Money wins, not necessarily the right product
- Most people are oblivious to their psychological drivers, Ad makers have learnt to exploit those to drive sales.
This is one area AI can be very helpful as it improves, I face a problem, I let my agent loose and it finds the right solution and thus right products, provides comparative data for me to choose without the products being thrust in my face everywhere I go (behavioral ads) or also when I don't need it.
