Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Marketing is only manipulation. It wants to manipulate me into doing something I otherwise wouldn’t have.

    Since I don’t know how well their manipulation works, my only option is to only buy things that I have never seen an ad for.

    To make sure I can still buy anything at all, I block/avoid ads where I can.

      I do. It works really fucking well. $900 billion per year well.

        But that’s their manipulation towards their employers. These numbers rely on people who lie and manipulate for a living to tell honest numbers about their own worth.
