“told them that I saw their add on such and such”

Of course, the downside to telling ‘em that is they know where people are seeing the ads they placed, i.e. where to make more ad buys. You would have to have a massive, yuge group action for this to have any impact at all. They can blow off a few dozen “cranks” when 500,000 eyes are still on their ads.
They are a lot slower than we are. They have no media that presents the same thing. Your girlfriend, wife, daughter is still sucked up into it. welcome to cutting edge theory.
There is no downside since ratings are collapsing across the board even for NFL games.
