There's a stark difference between a braindead teenager flicking through ShitTok all day, 20% obvious ads, 50% hidden ads/sponsors, and not questions anything once. Then there's me, who, in the rare case I am forced to see an advertisement, purposefully remembers it to boycott that product.
If I realize that I know a product through an ad of some kind, I go out of my way to not buy that product. And if I don't remember, I still choose objectively - who treated the animals the best, what works the best etc. So if you want to sell me something, just don't fuck me over, and give me a nice experience, eg. open source drivers.
