Advertising vs. Me

When I see advertisements on my social media, one part of my advertising identity is shown by advertisers thinking that I admire technology and the new stuff that comes out with phones and computers, when this is not entirely true. Although I own a gaming computer, I am not interested in learning about any new technology that they come out with, such as AI-powered PC’s, I would never need such a computer since I already have a powerful PC that can run anything I want. If it was advertisements like video games, that would be more interesting to me.

I also see fitness advertisements, gym memberships, workout apps, and even supplements for growth such as creatine. I see ads like Planet Fitness, which I wouldn’t go to since I already work at my house, and it works out better for me since I prefer to be alone while working out and not in a public space. While I work out occasionally, I am not entirely interested in it every day like other people. Just a few searches from months ago on how to do certain workouts correctly misled the algorithm into thinking I am very interested in fitness when I am not.

Another advertisement I see a lot of is on fashion clothing shopping sites. This is very realistic to me because I love wearing clothes that look good in my opinion, as I look at clothes quite a lot online. Since there’s quite a lot to look at. Ads I’ve seen are such as PacSun and FashionNova. Even though I never buy stuff off FashionNova unlike I do sometimes with PacSun, it shows the algorithm showing me brands that I could be interested in since I am interested in new clothing.

An advertisement that I see constantly and that interests me is the restaurants I see in advertisements that show food that I would love to eat. Advertisements like Panera Bread make me want to go there again and try out something new just by the way it looks online. Also, advertisements I see of another restaurant I like going to is Olive Garden because there’s so much different food to eat there that I haven’t tried since I usually get the same things every time mainly because I’m afraid I won’t end up liking it.

Another advertisement I see that intrigues me often is movies that are coming into theaters. There is this one movie that is a horror movie but the trailer seems very interesting and looks like it will be fun to watch is this movie called Heart Eyes. I am very interested in watching new movies especially ones that just come out and are getting released this year because they usually are always good especially if the trailers are intriguing. I also personally like movie theaters since they have big screens to display the movie with loudspeakers, and that always makes the movie experience for horror movies way better and scarier.
