Lol well said..I’ve also trained myself to stay away from vibrant cartoon colored images and stick to simplified labels. I’ve also noticed big companies changing their packaging to market to ppl like me. Ex: organic Coca Cola..Stay woke!

i have trained myself to do the opposite of what the marketing wants me to do. It works. I hate the products they push.

Same. Especially medication.

Same every ad disgusts me

good 🙂 I've trained myself to hate every product that comes in a package...

i’m 18 and that is exactly how i wanna raise my children in the future ! no such as bad habits like trashy eating or any other type of addiction. congrats for illuminating your child !!!

@@albertgalko1295right, because what would big pharma sell us if we’re all healthy??😅

Exactly what I was thinking this is actually terrifying!

Yeah, we have become complacent. Unlike in the early 19-20th century, we can entertain our problems away. That means no one really wants to do anything. The FDA and the U.S food standard had it's birth in the early 1900's, and only because the people rose up and demanded the government to do something. Today we protest, but go home and continue to consume.

McDonald's is not Unhealty mass produced greasy processed food . Not yucky yack 🤮 Does not make you fat , unhealthy, spotty and addicted. Have a fizzy drink with it , full of additives .

You are so right. That's what hiring an army of lawyers (working alongside with public relations experts) can do for a corporation like McDonald's. Non-nutritous junk food, dangerous mono-culture, and out-of-sight profits (by under-paying employees and over-pricing products) marks them as one of the most dangerous entities on the planet.

Yeah... Clearly that is the work of McDonalds lawyers...

@@tf8187 I was booking agent, artist rep, graphic design/website design, p.a., tour manager and more. I started just by helping out local bands getting there demos into shops, handing out flyers, being the door bitch at gigs, sneaking into venues under age by carrying in their equipment.... We are talking pre internet days, and then came MySpace, digitisation of music and the industry turned on its head! It also made a way for artists to get there stuff out there. So while people were playing precious ego games over copyrights and shit, I saw opportunity. I learnt everything computer, back when it was the dial up days! It was hard but fucking fun!! I was in the metal scene and then also gathered some blues and roots artists, even worked with an Aussie hip hip artist and ended up sub contracted by Sony and Universal. My artist that made the main stream was max white, the single off the album was feel the bass and it is here on you tube! I then decided to leave the industry to have my child, and don't miss it, but boy am I glad I did it!! Thanks for asking I

This is what we marketing students study... we study neuroscience, psychology to control human minds.

If only more people were aware of these sophisticated manipulation techniques... this needs to be shared.

@@XSilver_WaterXwhat a statement

​@@waltdill927 I'm a non-practicing intellectual, but I can give it a shot. Car manufacturers jumped on board early with survey-based focus group marketing gurus. See also: The Persuaders by Frontline, for the prequel technology to the video we're commenting on. The car company will figure out that people associate cars with particular things, and then craft their ads based on those thoughts. Such as, SUV drivers want to be dominant and safe. In American culture, cars are inextricably linked to post-adolescent freedom, opportunity, virility, capability, power. We are told everything we want in life requires a car, and because of car-centric urban planning and rejection of mass transit and cycling it's true. But the flip side is that if you have the car, everything else will follow. Buy the thing and achieve happiness. Cars are so central to the American psyche that they've attained spiritual fetish status, like guns. And these objects that control us have become elevated to the same holy tier as religion, politics, and child-rearing as things that people will become intensely and instantly angry about if our unexamined assumptions about them are in any way challenged. As an object of power, the driver wants to use it to feel superior to others. The car must be faster than anyone else, so that if he needs to use it to kill them they cannot escape. It must handle exquisitely, so that his failings as a human driver are nullified by the quality of the technology instead of exacerbated by it. The car must look impressive and frightening to others. By being shiny and having a face at each end, the car attracts attention. By being expensive and a costly thing instead of an investment the car displays his wealth and thus his ability to force other people to obey his demands. A large vehicle is more survivable in a crash, especially a higher one, and the driver wants everyone to know that he is happy to crash into them if they don't get out of his way because he will survive and they will die. Tinted windows allow the driver to see out without anyone seeing in, giving anonymity and thus creating a barrier to communication and empathy. The tint also prevents anyone from seeing whether you have weapons or valuables in the car, meaning you have power because of your secret information which they cannot have. The car is thus a fortress. It's a safe place, a projection of dominance, a weapon. When you understand the American car psychology every single car advertisement makes perfect sense.

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🦴

​@@googiegress7459 good job. Plus the car has killed almost every town and city in America. You just can't get to places without a car. That's why people drive in their 80s and 90s. Cannot walk anywhere because there are no stores closeby and they have lost walking function from using cars. It's a really nefarious thing, Big Oil.

⁠@@juliettailor1616 oils is an amazing substance and we really should be thankful that it’s available on every corner and cheaper than a gallon of milk. It’s used to make our modern would run and to get things into space. Medicine,plastic, warm homes in the winter without ever doing any work at all to enjoy it. Poor people all around the world have had their lives improved and in many cases extended because oil is used I think oil is probably the most important item that is sold on the planet and the people that dedicate their lives to the sales and discovery and drilling should be treated with more respect. People thank veterans for their service and oil men are shamed for making profits when their product in my opinion is undervalued and could sell for at least double whatever the highest price you have ever paid is but maybe even 3-4 times it’s current price

Woah, not that's next level

​@ceciliacole5098yes order online if possible😊

@ceciliacole5098marketing is literally everywhere!! think about it , exmpl: what do you buy from a trip at a grocery store?? are things that you necessarily need??

That's what pickpockets do: slow you down, distract your attention and steal your money.

Sweetheart there is a lot of this information out there. All you have to do is study marketing or just pay attention.

Psh. Psychology!

And marketing is applying both!

Bruh, no. We all have smartphones. Nowadays on average we consume more ads then we ever have done!

@@jamief.g if you receive an advertisement on your smartphone doesn't mean that even notice about what it is before you delete it. And no your brain will not register it subliminally. Subliminal marketing is sold to companies that have more money than sense. The real target is the company that pays for these services.

That's the equivalent of my search history from my phone communicating with my tv as they do what I'm asking is with our ability to mute, skip, dismiss a factor in how it's being marketed to us? We no longer have those glorious catalogs and many of once printed reading 📖 material being digital and the way we interact with video games has to have some sort of effect on the entire marketing scheme on a mass scale I would think 💭

@@kta0702. Yes and during brain development it becomes part of neural process, they marketed cigarettes to children so they would be life and death customers.

Oh what a powerful message!! I think your take on this is amazing!!! You couldn't of said it better. We do need to exercise self- control and take some accountability on our side!! Thank you for this! Felt like you was shouting at me but, was needed ❤

I had a very similar experience, as I watched the video I started thinking about McDonald's being one of the root causes of my addiction issues then I saw your comment and it makes perfect sense now. I'm almost in my 30s, after years of depression and addiction, now finally tapering off medications and it's a horrible process to go through... Almost like torture sometimes. But I am happy because at least I'm finally learning discipline and good self control, finally starting to get my freedom back and it's the Best feeling in the world so far... Can't wait to finally enjoy life without constantly looking through this chemically induced lense of "everything is (kinda) alright... but life still sucks". To anyone reading this... Don't go down this path, it's simply not worth it... Better learn self control, find a good therapist and make time for healing yourself. There is no shortcut to learning good self control and healthy coping mechanisms! you gotta put in the work but it pays off, you're gonna have something better than all the pleasure and short term rewards in return... True freedom!

@@johnnyquiddd7281 It’s criminal how these companies prey off human weakness , we are constantly shown commercials and told to buy things .

Yeah that's a great way to find out that no more whistleblowers are willing to talk with them in the future. But also the whistleblower here is extremely stupid. No face masking, he says McDonalds by mistake and then later says it thinking he's not being recorded. He's the kind of guy who wouldn't survive long in the wild.

Ugh and then during the ambush interview at 30:00 she throws the guy under the bus.

Really? And Disney has not infected your family either? Or Kellogs? No Apple or iPhones? iPhones I bet, their manipuated friends in school will require iPhones if not yet, soon enough. Impressive if you haven't. Wait, are your kids allowed out of the house? Kidding.

People refuse to take responsibility for their life, so they choose to blame others for their stuрidity and lack of discipline.

⁠@@GungaLaGungayea they are too busy being tough to see the big picture. It’s easier to trick someone than to convince someone that they’ve been tricked! The take away here is marketing companies work harder than us to mold us at birth.. We shouldn’t have to work so hard to fight off “trusted brand” manipulation. Spoil alert! It doesn’t stop at just McDonald’s. After seeing so many marketers refusing to answer questions is very telling and scary!

@@mikesamovarov4054 How can you blame people if they were deceived? You were falsely blaming others too. Also, addiction, poverty, food deserts, and manipulative marketing exists. It's hard to shop at better and healthier businesses with poverty and food deserts. Some people are too busy to inform themselves. Some businesses lobby to censor info about them.

I was thinking about that too, because I wouldn't buy it. But I think here it's about what grabs your attention, because maybe all there is on the shelf is Big K, but you have to put one in the basket, and that is what's being watched. I like to think that I am not your typical costumer, but at the end, I probably am, because everything we buy is some brand.

@@milenadocic Perhaps you should think about that, and find something other than a danger to your health, because cereals are you know.

@@milenadocic I found long long ago that generics are just as good, sometimes better. Probably even manufactured by the same companies as the name brands, lol.

Please don’t create another state agency, just don’t buy things you don’t need or have thought about buying before going to the place it’s sold and if you can’t manage that you don’t deserve to have control of your own finances.

@@mrjones7537. There was a successful court case in uk. These people handed out leaflets about how bad McDonald’s food was health wise . Well McDonald’s sent cease and desist letter. They didn’t . McDonald’s took them to court for slander. These 2 people successfully defended themselves in court and won . There’s a documentary about those 2 people it’s pretty epic epic really . They defended themselves.

Teaching kids to control themselves isn't going to work because it's not a fair fight. In the left corner: a kid with a not yet fully developed brain, in the right corner: a whole team of marketers, behavioral scientists, neuroscientists, and MRI machines. And probably AI nowadays (if not today, then tomorrow). You don't fight boxing matches outside your weight class. Why do you expect a kid (or even an average, stressed, tired, hungry adult) to win against such a formidable opponent?

@@TheFeldhamster because it's the adults job to tell the child no or find alternatives. Growing up is about learning and sadly there's a lot of hard things to learn in this world. We teach kids not to talk to strangers or get into a car with someone who has candy/toys right, this isn't any different 🤷

But they exist to supply a need coming right from mentioned brands, so the true villains are still the damn brands. 😂

Yeah, these companies are clearly just doing something the big corporations could do themselves, but now they have a layer of separation good enough for people who are dumb enough to let them off the hook for any perceived ethical issues. but really... let them do as they please with their marketing strategies because the functioning dumb people will be worst affected and I'm ok with that. Educate your population about what is happening when they watch an ad or go in a store.

And if you were a business owner, wouldn't you want to sell more? Isn't the purpose of business to make profit?

It only works if you are an impulsive spender

@@mikesamovarov4054 Some people want their business or charity to help others and do their dreams, and aren't as focused on profits. They same can be asked of you and any worker in that do you only work cause you only care about money? There are people with good intentions, but are forced to have to make a livelihood or fund their business in capitalism. Btw, I wasn't saying there aren't greedy businesses. Just because a business owner wants to be greedy or harm others, doesn't mean it's ok and shouldn't be regulated like the OP talked about.

Look up the history of Unilever

Same 😂 I think with my own brain, nobody can influence that.

Corporations actually own modern industrial society more than we would like to know.

only if they are informed "consumers" - but when they target the very young - how can you talk about being "responsible"????

@@janetch7384 fair enough, I agree with you when it comes to children.

As someone who works in market research, I can tell you that the story is far more complex than that. I once did a study for a major cell phone carrier, they had some of the weirdest commercials I've ever seen, but we went from %17 to over %70 of respondents stating that "not owning the pictured device causes me to feel inferior." We hit over %70 with the same commercial in almost a dozen test groups of 10-15 respondents. %95 of their commercials couldn't break %20, then bam we get bonkers results. One thing we noticed from aggregate data, Americans are far more likely to be susceptible to advertisement manipulation compared to foreign raised samples. Like... More than double...

@@cherrys7771 thanks for your insight. In this case you have the advantage of being in market research. I have to admit, as I grow older I realize how susceptible we all are to manipulation. I would be considered a "foreign raised sample" as you put it, maybe that also skews my perception and perspective

@@mikesamovarov4054 Middle path is possible man. It's not always the extremes. But of course that will require more energy expenditure. That is the basic law of the universe. For example, we have blockchain now which can be used to outsource trust and bring in accountability, but that uses enormous energy. We need some robust ways of regulations while keeping the government from becoming too strong. It is a continuous fight, but alas people are becoming too dumb to do that

I noticed the same!! Not the average amount for a hr video

Or the pollution and contamination, the diseases, the feral chickens, etc. Downtown historic Rome is kept clean but outside that the trash doesn't get picked up because the mafia controls the landfill and has been putting the screws to the government for years. And many of the people are still very pro-authoritarian, they still have fucking monuments to Mussolini, and they don't really feel they lost WWII. I bet a lot of travelers to Rome don't realize all the stuff that gets hidden from them so they will come and spend money.
