You saw a steam deck ad, you just didn't classify it as an ad. People who think ads don't affect them are lieing to themselves. Not all ads are about immediate action. You stop at Taco Bell over McDonald's on a road trip because their ad gets associated with happiness subconsciously. Not being able to think of the ads is the point, most ads aren't trying to directly stick in your brain, it's about associating keywords and emotion.

I really don't think I did. I was not using steam rally till I got one. Pretty sure I heard about it first here. unless you include that as an add. Again why am I not doing fast food like I used to. Did the ads stop. did the ads lose their power. Its just stupid.
