Why do companies advertise on YouTube when their ads are only used to annoy people into paid accounts? I never see anything, I am interested in.

    The more a company spends on advertising, the more they sell. You might be annoyed by the ads, but somewhere someone pulled out their credit card watching the exact same thing.

        Ads work way better than you think. Perhaps the most important thing they do is to make you aware the brand exists, and to keep it in mind when you’re looking for a service/product. You’re way more likely to buy something you’ve heard of, even if it’s from ads.

        It’s the same way with telemarketing and scams. If they didn’t work, then they would go away. Obviously they are successful. That’s why people keep using them.
