This will be an interesting experiment. Will the companies that stop advertising on X see any drop in sales? If not, will they cut back their advertising on social media generally?

I’ve never consciously bought anything because of advertising on social media. I’ve clicked through sometimes to look, but I’ve never bought. Purchases are always done by searching once I’ve decided to buy something.

Maybe most people impulse buy stuff because of social media ads, but I’m skeptical as to how well it works.

i wondered the same thing

i ordered a pizza online

then went to a site that ran google ads

the page was covered in pizza ads for that very shop

what a waste

only google and the sponsor site prosper; the pizza shop not so much

Same with me, I’m completely immune to any form of propaganda.

If every American had this immunity, there would be zero commercials during the Super Bowl.
