So you're preferring the form of manipulation that works best on you?

I'd prefer not to be manipulated at all.

In fact I loathe the feeling of being manipulated so much that it extends to all but the least obnoxious brands that try to advertise to me.

I can't be the only one who is allergic to advertising that tries to appropriate things from my social groups or background to sell me their shitty mobile data plan, insurance, or phone.

The most recent example is some random phone company trying to sell me their data plan with some shitty pun on "cum laude" on posters at university. Ugh.

Yes. Rather than being peppered with ads for credit repair services, obscure/irrelevant drugs, or other things that I’m not interested in and therefore waste 100% of my time, I’d rather be marketed to about products/services I’d consider buying (or ads that will entertain me).
