1. How would you assess the amount of advertising you see? Too much? Too little? Just right?
The amount of advertising that I see every day is too much. Every single time that I am watching
anime on the internet, I see about ten ads on each episode that I watch. I get frustrated with it, but
I can’t do anything about it. I must live with it, and when I go on YouTube, I also get two ads or
four ads per video. It’s honestly very annoying.
2. In your view, what difference does it make to know that people today saw much more
advertising in their daily lives than people 20 or 30 years ago?
The difference from now to back then is that back 20 or 30 years ago. They didn’t have the
internet as we do. They didn’t have to struggle with seeing ads every day. The only ads that they
would see are the posters outside or on the paper news.
3. What surprised you in the descriptions of how much demographic information marketers have
about potential customers? What kinds of information would you be willing to share about
yourself or your family to: enter a contest? Get a discount? Get online? Get a cell phone? Use a
credit card? Would you be willing to reveal your name, address, and phone number? What kinds
of information would you want to keep private, and why?
Yes, I would be willing to give out private information because when they are talking to me
about it, they all sound so convincing. They let you hear everything that you want to hear, such
as discounts on anything that you’re about to purchase or that they can help you lower your bills.
They all trap you with their words, and they tell you to give them private information, and we
proceed to do so.
