This is a perfect example of the hysterical, emotional responses I always see around this topic, where people turn off their reading comprehension and critical thinking skills and turn into shitty pattern-matching buzzword machines. Nobody in this thread said anything about immunity; there's no reason to assume that the hypothetical person I'm talking about has lower susceptibility precisely _because_ he's aware of the effects of advertising and takes steps to control their effects on his purchase decisions.

If you've not taken steps to limit your exposure, then you're too naive to honestly claim you have lower susceptibility. Ad avoidance is the most effective method of ad resistance.
