Comment on Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time?

to purchase policies from companies with the lowest advertising budgets.

This was basically my grandfather’s modus operandi. He wouldn’t buy anything he saw in an ad. Dude was a nuclear physicist, so maybe he was on to something.

And while it’d be pretty hard to do that today, I always try and keep it in mind when I buy stuff. I ask myself if I feel like I’m being pressured to buy something, and to try to always be willing to walk away without buying. You can always decide later, and buy it then.
