While there are multiple points i'd disagree to, im tired of this convo.
However is it really advertising if it's so universal that you don't even know it's a brand? Like at this point people don't even recognise pop sockets as a brand but rather a type of product. Like when i say noodles there are many producers.
No im not, i always buy clothes, from whatever is the first brand i happend to grab, that also suits me. In fact i absolutely despise brand logos on anything i own. Hell i cover up my phones logo with a popsocket or similar.
To think everyone is as vulnerable to ads as some random dude says, or as a handful of studies with like 1000 people show is the ignorant thing here. Not everyone is the same. And if i think about all the comments i have seen under videos that talked about exactly that, then ads seem to even have a negative effect when presented to younger generations, gen z for example.
Also you can just avoid ads. Click no on every optional setting on websites etc., use an ad-blocker, Sponsorblock for YouTube. When outside pit your headphones in/on and listen to your favourite music, and don't look anywhere you are not going. Ads are only everywhere if you let them be
I can remember exactly one ad from when i was like 7. If i see an ad i just zone out. And everything i buy is because i researched it, it's the only thing of that type in store, or i tested it and decided i liked it.
I don't think the majority of people are as vulnerable to ads as you think
It definitely would be nice if that were the case, but i think the best way to incentivice people is to reward them. Better yet make a competition out of it. Just gotta reward actions that benefit other people.
Like let people be millionaire's but to get there they need to help like ten thousand people or something
I wonder how well a system would work where you get more money, the more you help people/help solve problems (with problems i mean like pollution or something)
Or, instead of slowing china down we could, and i know this sounds crazy but hear me out, speed up our own innovation rate
