Uhhhh... to... increase brand visibility or some other marketing bullshit, I assume.

Yeah, but unless I can find nobody else who provides a similar service, I'd probably click away from them. Then again, I'm one of those unicorns who shops by price first, regardless of fancy marketing.

I don't think that's a unicorn thing, considering us "millenials" are ruining ad campaigns by essentially being immune to advertising. There have been multiple very gripe-y studies about it lol.

Oh, that's interesting! I hadn't heard about it. Huh. Isn't it just a combo of skepticism, too much stuff being sold, and not enough money to toss?

It's also, (un?)fortunately, the fact that we're better educated than the previous generation.

We had media literacy classes in high school (in some cases even elementary school), we're more likely to have a college degree (and as a result, more likely to not watch or own cable television in the first place), and we're more likely to research large purchases rather than rely on celebrity endorsements or information from marketing sources.

We're the internet generation, and as a result nobody has any god damn clue how to advertise to us.

It's true, I wouldn't go anywhere near a large purchase without investigating online first to know exactly what I want.
And you're right about the advertising - even online advertising sucks most of the time, as can be seen from the popups (fuck you, no way I'm looking at you know!) and various noisy and animated obnoxious ads, which just make people download more adblockers.

I guess we should be happy, though? I'm sure somebody will figure it out. Like you have all those social-justicey ads nowadays. Are they more successful?

Not a clue about social-justice type ads. I'm sure someone will do a study at some point, but I haven't seen anything yet.
