If I somehow see an ad, and it is for an unknown product, I will let it go. The entire purpose of advertising is to get people to see products they would not normally. But if I see an ad for a product that I know exists, I put it on a mental do-not-buy-for-a-while list, since I don't want any sales, even ones I'd normally make, look like the advertising works.
If the ad is actively antagonistic, I forgo the product entirely.
I agree to a point.
