"Nobody can agree"?

Is this kind of like how nobody can agree on whether we landed on the moon or whether climate change is real?

My thoughts too. It definitely works. That's why I despise advertising and block all attempts at it. Don't tell me what to think, assholes.

Yeah it's really bizarre how we just accept that there's this massive industry dedicated solely to emotionally manipulating people into buying shit. If it wasn't reality and we just saw it portrayed in a sci-fi movie, we'd think "this movie is dumb, why would people ever put up with that kind of bullshit existing?"

Right? Now we have people claiming you have a moral obligation to watch ads because they support X or Y. Bizarre is a good word.
