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?
Advertising is subversive. How do you pick what to buy when you buy “when needed”. You may be less susceptible to excessive consumerism - no wall of funko pops and anime character figures - but that doesn’t mean you select the products you buy because of some kind of advertising. Whether that’s fake “rating” blogs/websites that “evaluate” products based on who pays them, reading reviews that have been botted, responding to logo design, etc
