Louis, Louis, listening to you at about 10 minutes I see you don't understand the psychology of advertising. You are talking to reasonable people who want to know. That isn't an average customer base on the whole. Ads don't aim to make you turn your neck and suddenly trust an advert or company. The companies have researched human psychology for decades and they know their tricks, whether it is a fraction of a second exposure in cartoons or any content that you don't even notice (but your brain does) or bombarding you with one particular content so it becomes familiar to you and THAT is the trick. When you are deciding for a product next, you (an average customer out there) will go for what your brain sees familiar. That's it. So althought those adverts are irrelevant to us (annoying, I know), they leave a print in our brains and when we are deciding for a product, we will prefer those we are already familiar with. That is what works on the majority of average customers out there. I have never studied psychology but I want to know and understand. This is what I have learned over the years. And I don't even run a company.
