I saw a post about how nerds are resistant to advertising, which is bs imo considering how obsessed many nerds to products. But then, I do not seem to get affected - I usually do not desire to buy a product, and only seek out what to buy when needed.

That is, I feel like adverts do not work on me. Is this an illusion? Or maybe, is it that many adverts are made to appeal to neurotypicals?

    The list of boycotted brands you cultivate will still work in their favor under the right circumstances. If you get injured in an accident and are desperate for a lawyer, you will remember that ______ and ____ is the way to go. Call -_.
