Original question by @muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works

Marketing is supposed to increase demand for a product or service but it doesn’t always work that way. What do you use less or even stopped using because of the company’s marketing?

    I used to have Liberty Mutual for my car insurance. Then that stupid ass commercial came on, with that obnoxious, one-word jingle: “Liberty Liberty Liberty… Liberty!”.

    I turned off auto-renew and switched to another company (and it was cheaper).

    Is that petty? Yes. Do I regret it? Nope.

      A friend of mine really despises Progressive’s “Flo” and that Geico Gekko. I’m no fan myself, but he REALLY hates them and says he’ll never give those companies any business because of those characters.
