Although
people may have developed habits of avoiding adverts, it seems to me that they still achieve their desired effect on the whole.
On the one hand, it is true that advertising has become so pervasive that people tend to circumvent it. First
, since people nowadays are being bombarded with a myriad of commercials, they tend to become desensitized to those ads. In fact, purchasers are likely to rely on others’ comments and feedback on the products they want to buy instead
of resorting to what are marketed, especially when they shop online. Second
, by becoming more conscious and wiser, consumers would no longer pay attention to adverts surrounding them. Plenty of evidence suggests that viewers have developed the common practice of skipping advertisements on social platforms, especially auto-playing video ads on Youtube
