You observed this correctly. Advertisers often do a very good job at
A) Grabbing attention
B) Staying in your mind
They consider their job done after these two, but usually don't take in account
C) Get perceived in a positive way
So yeah, advertisers, go ahead and j*rk off to the fact you often achieved A)+B) on me. But also note: Your company will stay on my private list for "Avoid at all costs and advise against!"
I'm in bad mood and just vented frustration (and even gave you a because not paying attention – corrected).
Advertising is for me what a red rag is for a bull.
Those people make me use vulgar phrases all the time (and I do have the impression my post isn't necessarily far away from the truth – they might find some strange satisfaction from using psychology and archaic instincts as means of manipulation)
