For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.
All of them
Even free samples?
Especially free samples.
Generally yes. If I don’t need it, I don’t need it for free either. The price doesn’t change how much I don’t need a product.
Only made sense when some supermarkets had samples of hams and cheeses in those sections before COVID. Helped decide which one to buy.
Does anybody get free samples because they need them? They get them because they want them.
Yep, I want marketing to not exist. If your product or service is good then its reputation will stand on its own and spread via word of mouth. Billboards and ads should be criminal as they ruin our scenery and waste our time
