That is essentially the existence of marketers in general.

I can't remember the last time I've bought a product because a commercial was successful in getting me to. Every commercial anymore is just to annoy. Annoy you with things you obviously wouldn't want to buy. Annoy you with the knowledge that instead of paying the people running the company fairer wages, they invest millions into making said stupid commercial. As well as not improving the product or service in any conceivable way. That's all it is.
