    Too many people here are saying that ads don’t work.

    Whether they work or not doesn’t matter. The problem is that ads are literally designed and optimized to manipulate you out of your money, and to cause you to make decisions on emotion rather than reason. This is unethical at its core. How most people are ambivalent towards companies manipulating us is beyond me.
