Anecdotally, lots of intelligent people I know like to pretend to be completely uninfluenced by advertising, which I think is delusional. In my view advertising is in big parts (your category 3) basically a constant side-channel attack against peoples minds, eroding decisionmaking and purchasing decisions (mostly!) to peoples detriment. The net-beneficial aspects (product information, and, arguably, boosted general demand) could be better achieved otherwise. |
