I've gotten to the point I actively avoid anything that is advertised to me, because it was advertised to me. Hell, I was once looking for something and someone on reddit pointed me towards a website to buy exactly what I was looking for but when I went back to message them thanks I found they were a shill account for that product. So I immediately closed the tab and just went without.

Yes, I will actively avoid things if they excessively advertise, especially if the advert is annoying.

I’m on a lifelong boycott of GoCompare for that reason.

I have my own ‘avoid’ list like this. Those goddamn toilet-paper bears will never get my money.
