Answer 1

I find TV ads mostly unhelpful. I sometimes see an ad on Youtube that is cool, but basically if I like something, it’s not due to and ad. There are notable exceptions: I’ve visited websites for products after clicking on an IG ad. Most of the time, the products are too expensive, but I did buy the fadeaway temporary tattoos due to the ad. I see a lot of clothing ads on social media. I started buying things on Wish for awhile due to the relentless FB ads, but stopped after I got some products. Their things are low quality. My clothing decisions are mainly due to what I see on the streets and in the shops. If I already like something, then the ads do influence me a bit, I suppose.
