I saw a post about how nerds are resistant to advertising, which is bs imo considering how obsessed many nerds to products. But then, I do not seem to get affected - I usually do not desire to buy a product, and only seek out what to buy when needed.

That is, I feel like adverts do not work on me. Is this an illusion? Or maybe, is it that many adverts are made to appeal to neurotypicals?

    There are only handful of burger brands which are available nearby after searching, and I go to whichever place that offers good ones.

      Yeah, but how do you know which ones are good? Generally well gravitate towards brands we’re aware of due to them being “known” to us.

      And if you say you picked based on reviews, then you’re just falling for a different form of advertising as most review sites are heavily gamed.

        I just visit each place and see if the burger tastes good. Dunno about gravitation, oftentimes I don’t want to go to the major brands.

      So, seeing the phrase “I’m loving it” did not 8n any manner put a thought of “hamburger” in your head?
