Don't worry, they don't win unless you end up buying something you wouldn't have bought otherwise.
You do lose, though, because you still get to watch hours of useless ads.
Yes, but that often happens unconsciously. You're in the store, you have two brands that are similarly priced. One that you have never seen before and one that somehow seems familiar. You're much more likely to buy the second brand, even if you don't remember how you know it and actually it was just some super annoying ad you saw months ago.
Everyone thinks they're not influenced by ads, but companies wouldn't spend billions on them if they didn't work.
