RE: ADSactly on ADSACTLY - On Advertising - Part 1

in #adsactly7 years ago

Advertising is a way of manipulating consciousness. The history of advertising development shows that over time, advertising adapts and becomes more hidden and more intrusive. Advertising is the art of making a person want to buy things he does not need. In fact, the main function of advertising is to sell. This is a huge business. Even more is a large system that brings big profits to corporations.

Every modern person in one way or another is under the influence of advertising. We see it on the Internet (where advertising is very intrusive and irritable), we see it on billboards, see on TV, in newspaper, in stores, and so on. This list can be long sold. There is a fine line of manipulation. That is, people have weaknesses and these weaknesses are used by advertisers. These weaknesses are used by dictators or sects. But when we talk about advertising, the main thing that they put into the minds of people is - buy, spend, consume. This is beneficial for corporations and "big" people.

As a matter of fact advertising is a game on our feelings, on our emotions and capture of our attention and reason. Few people see such (often hidden) manipulations. Thousands of people around the world are buying things that they are forced to advertise. This zombifying sistema works, alas.
Thanks for the great article!
