Answer 1

Everyone hates them. They are terrible. They are worthless…until they aren’t. Just about everyone has seen something that appeals to them from an ad. Even people hating ads have been influenced by them. Even if you don’t buy through an ad, they influence you. Your childhood is filled with memories of ads. The items that are “iconic” from your childhood were influenced by ads.

Soooo…even if we hate them, the work better than you think. Hell…even the recent Reddit/Taco Bell/Pete ad issue worked to benefit Taco Bell.

In short, even if you hate something, it may have done its job by making you think about it.
