DeGoogle Yourself

I consider "branding" adds so easily a thousand just in a trip through the store. Driving is mostly just political posters and of course signage (again branding -> ads). The drive is always about 30 minutes so if with radio easily 10 minutes of ads. If on social media more ads in between posts. Clothing can be ads both the free shirts part of campaigns or branded stuff.

With in my own home most gadget or appliance stuff is branded. Anything processed, again branded.

Honestly if I wasn't so opposed to it my life would probably be worse, but I prefer buying from people (they just give you a bar of soap, peaches, chair, etc no logo or stamp on it), a block everything I can, and like diy electronics.

It

Zero but I’m neither average nor American.

If you say digital ads, probably none.

But we have ads everywhere, brands and logos are everywhere, this is ad too.

I get my earphones I see their logo, I get my phone I see a logo too, my laptop, my shoes, my shirts etc... Ads everywhere.

I can say with confidence, if they use the phone more than five hours a day and they actively go outside grocery store, convenience store, movie theater, or in a public outing, they see at least 100 ads per day.

I have DNScrypt with built in adblockers, I download my media and don't watch television through cable, nor do i have subscription based streaming platforms. I go some days not seeing 1 ad

The only ads I really see are product placements, brand names/logos and product reviews on youtube (which are generally paid ads).

Like many here, I use ad blockers etc but I don't think most people realize how much of what they see are actually ads. Just look at a pair of sneakers and you're likely to see an ad on the side of them.

One every 6 seconds? I call bullshit. Or are ya all driving a F1 race?

So many people don't read the most obvious "no entry" signs. I don't think they'll notice most advertising.

I wonder if signs have become less effective as a result of advertising. Have people become desensitized to things trying to grab their attention?

Me (uses discord and lemmy, rarely watches youtube and adblocks browser and youtube) online: 20 or so (counting Netflix ads), real-life: 1000 (half of them old).

Very few. My home internet is adblocked with multiple layers. I don’t frequent ad-filled social media. I don’t watch TV much. Probably the most ads I’d get are if I’m driving, then I’ll get billboards and the like.

Fuckin loads.

Not American but can't imagine they see fewer.

I gotta wonder what they're counting as an impression. How much is junk mail/email spam, for instance? How much is fully peripheral - billboards you're not stopping to read, ambient Internet banner ads you're deliberately ignoring or clicking through? Native ads people simple don't clock or understand?

I also have to wonder how many of these ads "stick" in anyone's brain. It seems like exposure at that volume would make retaining any individual impression unlikely.

That’s insane! It also seems like a figure of diminishing of returns. If your company puts out the only ad out there, that will be incredibly effective. But one in 4K? Does it really make a difference?

Not me. Thank goodness for adblockers.

Pro tip: Don't be stuck in from of your phone all day, this reduces ad counts, too!

I still see and hear occasional traditional ads, as they're hard to avoid in public spaces or in my snail-mail box, but I don't see online advertising since I adblock and spam-filter very aggressively. If a site is tries to anti-adblock (like Twitch) I just stop using them.

I don't think my "daily seen" number ever gets to three digits.
