That's not how executives work.

Edit: i say, it maybe works somewhat in traditional ads but not as much in annoying ads (popups, inline, in-video) as Google promises. And that executives are often enough a bit naive in promises for savings/wins (see AI programner promises vs. reality and how they still jump on it). Also, how the internet marketplace works (programmatic advertising), it's on mere promises only anyway.

You don’t really see advertisements for things like mega yachts or helicopters. Or private jets.

Most things that you’ll have to talk to a dealer or rep for, you don’t actually see ads. Except maybe cars.

I never said that I shouldn't hear about it, only it shouldn't have advertising. So recommendations by friends are helpful, so is personal experience in a store or review by trusted source. And for example, all of FOSS software doesn't have ads for them and often is better than paid counterparts.

Easy, look at a couple of comparison websites whenever you need a specific product, and compare them to each other.

You'll get a somewhat unbiased idea of what the best product is to your specifications, and they are full of brands you never heard of.
