Does anyone else feel like advertising has little to no effect in them? (self.asklemmy)

I cannot recall the last time I was swayed by an advertisement.

I find it incredibly upsetting when an ad campaign catches on with such vitality that people start quoting it.

Ads are invasive as is, so we really need to become personal shills for the companies that showed us something “funny”?

There is so much humor all around us — especially online. Why do so many people chose to embrace the shitty, forced humor of advertisements to the point where they deliberately regurgitate the ad, using it as an office joke or ice breaker?
