Sorry, what’s your argument here? That you’re immune to propaganda because you’re exposed to so much of it? Maybe that you’re immune to propaganda that you (presumably) disagree with, like Moms for America, because you ingest so much propaganda that matches your existing opinions (political subs/communities)?
What about consumer propaganda (i.e. marketing/advertising)? Do you think your purchasing decisions are influenced by brand awareness and other marketing effects?
Genuinely trying to understand what you’re trying to say here.
My argument isn’t that I’m immune to propaganda, it’s that Google, Amazon, and however many other unknown data hoarders have all my info already and aren’t using it for anything important.
If anything, it’s helpful. I got a suggested news article for some new research into my chronic condition, in it were targeted ads:
Some sort of dental credit card
A “smart” ring
Xfinity
Instacart
I don’t use any of those, congrats on spending money harvesting all my data to give me ads for products I won’t use.
I’m sure my purchasing habits are influenced by advertisers, especially new purchases into an area I don’t know, power tools, for example. I’ve definitely started my research into purchases with “that brand I’ve heard of before”.
But people in this thread are acting like AdSense is sewing my eyes open and mind controlling me into sending them my bank account details.
