Samsung spends a ton on “advertising”. they are the biggest advertisers on Earth.

I’m not sure they don’t just employ a bunch of South Koreans to do guerrilla marketing to keep unemployment low.

Samsung is about 20% of South Korea’s economy/ GDP

I am always being chased forward by the relentless hardware recycling frontier. Advertizing has nothing to do with me besides driving the likelihood of my at some time obtaining one of their just about totally obsolete pieces of hardware.

Maybe you know whether Apple or Samsung has higher advertizing expenses per unit of sold hardware?
