I don’t believe people are as easily manipulated as you do. I don’t buy things I don’t have a pre existing need for based on advertising, or really in general. If anything ads make me less likely to buy something based on the associated irritation. My political beliefs have not been swayed by my Facebook feed. I think if anything Facebook has made people more hardline to their existing beliefs by feeding them that there is mass agreement with them. You rolled off into unsupported tinfoil hat land for a bit. Soon to be divorced men isn’t a big enough market to go after. And if your kid wants gummy bears, that’s on you for buying them. |

How do you know if you're being silently manipulated? That's kind of the point of silent manipulation - you don't know it's happening.
Maybe you think you wanted that product, but in reality subtle ad exposure made you desire it.
