Most of the ads I see are on UA-cam, so I get annoyed when I see an ad, especially since they tend to be the same few products over and over again. I then actively avoid the product, due to the negative connection
Yeah, but what about the millions of one off ads, and then subconsciously when going to the store you pick one brand over another because you saw it on tele, all things being equal. Besides, some ads, I actually click because it's done so well, like the come to costa-rica one, or if it's relevant to what I'm doing.
Kaitlyn Guy me too lol! Especially the ones that come in the middle of a video I'm watching! I hate those products with passion and never ever buy those, be it apps or anything else!!
Kaitlyn Guy I always keep an open mind towards things i am not used to but the ads on youtube are for really pathetic products. So pathetic that the ad only shows how bad the product is. eg like how boring and poorly animated a game is.
ownser1 It's not even necessarily that. For example, I loved Coca Cola, but then Facebook was pushing it into my feed non-stop. I didn't even have to drink too much to get tired of it.
yea I get that sometimes, I wish they make a video about it like for example I know that thing A is good because it has a good reputation, and most people says good thing about it, but then everyone just start pushing me into doing/getting A and im just kinda pissed off and starting to dislike thing A somehow
When I went to ad school we were taught not to sell the product, but to sell a lifestyle or an ideal. It helps to bend the viewer's thinking onto the more malleable emotional path. Once you've seen it you can't unsee it.
The content of this video, an introduction into the processing and efficacy of arguments generally, is far more useful than just being about advertisements as the thumbnail suggests; it's reverse click-bait.
0:56 Someone tried that "Trust me, I'm a doctor" line on me. I said, "Just because you look like a doctor doesn't mean you are one," and walked out of the hospital. I'm so proud of myself. edit: Reworded to make joke more obvious.
Then *who do you trust*? I believe we have an epidemic of lack of trust today. From the climate change deniers, to the anti-vaccin people, trust in people who have spent their lives getting to understand something has eroded terribly. I believe this has something to do with a lack of education, as being educated and studying a subject yourself, makes you better at recognizing an expert even on other subjects than your own.
To be fair anyone saying trust me im a doctor is possibly not to be trusted they shouldn't need to wave there credentials in front of you to get your trust if your going to the hospital unless of course your acting like you know more then them
I didn't pay much attention to the content of the video and gave it thumbs up because that's what the majority did, which means the video was good, right?
We have a house rule where if you roll a 1 it is a critical fail and either the DM or you have to explain how badly the critical fail happens. Always amusing.
I love that your in video links actually work! So rare these days. Also great info too, a lot of times you guys give out just enough to send me off to actually learn about something. Keep up the good work guys!
It is a good video but it doesn't even explain 10% on how ads are persuading us. Ads are wayyyy more vicious than that. Like when they target kids to make parents buy or when restaurants send fake smells out in the street. There is enough ads manipulation to shoot a documentary!
But this is only about the psychological effects as persuasion on you as the decision maker. Of course, the title was a bit misleading since they actually focus on something way smaller than advertisements but this is how they make people more interested and convey the feeling of having learned something with a more practical use after watching the video. Easier to make connections in the brain when you have an example.
mojo2418 Asking is asking. And if you ask and then buy what they wanted, that still isn't the kid making the parent buy it. The parent chose to. As I said in my op, big difference. If the parents are weak and cave because they don't want the kid to hate them, feel left out, etc etc etc, that's on them, not the kids, and certainly not the advertisers. People need to grow up and act like real adults, instead of letting pretty ads control them.
I am far more likely to be dissuaded from buying something than persuaded by most ads. I was once in sales and I learned about "features and benefits". If an ad has no information about features or benefits, 90% of the time I am utterly dissuaded from whatever the ad is selling. That said, there is a small percentage of ads that tell a funny or uplifting story that is only peripherally relevant that I might let slide. The most dissuasive and objectionable type of ads for me are the type that sells a product as "cool", that use catch words or deceptive language to impress or that use memes or other pop culture references. Everyone seems to have different "most annoying" lists, but my list tends to include just about all retail and fashion commercials (what else can they do but claim they are cool?), health and hygiene products (Certs - what the hell is "retsin"?) and Lowe's pathetic "the moment when..." meme commercials (utterly pointless and pandering). Sadly, my contempt for these advertisers doesn't always prevent me from patronizing due to various local factors, e.g - we do have a Home Depot nearby but it is in a seedy neighborhood and poorly managed. That said...given the spare time, I will drive pretty far out of my way to avoid a business I dislike.
I remember my elementary school showed us a film on how ads try to manipulate their viewers, and I've been jaded to them ever since. (Except ads about pizza. Those always make me hungry.)
yea, very very rarely an ads convince me that what they are selling is a good thing, I can count it with my hand the times I click an ad or actually get whatever it is in the ad
@@zeromailss yes not not really how ads work. Their goal is to subliminally persuade you and not necessarily to make you go out of their way and buy them. That's unrealistic. Good ads subliminally influence your decision making process and make you do actions without realising.
@@Vaitria good point, but not once have I pondered on whether I should play raid shadow legends or use dashlane, I’ve been bombarded by these ads that I know the names but not enough to influence my decision making process
0:56 - First thing this made me think of was that egregious old TV ad where some actor began with the line "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV..." then proceeded to hawk some medically related product. Depending on what kind of thinker you are, you either started laughing hysterically or nodding sagely and thinking "Oh, wow. I gotta try that..."
I think you should incorporate some subtle music into your videos whilst you're talking. I think it would make an already awesome video a truly amazing experience.
Antonio R. S. I have never nor will I ever watch game of thrones. Mainly because I'm a fantasy nerd and have always loathed Martin. I wish someone would turn Stephen R Donaldson's series into a show or movie series.
The most important video. Has to be played with some Hunger Games epic movies and echoes. So nice of you to show that it even works on you. Omg man you gave up. I will never watch because...of you know it. After watching South Park a person becomes more suspicious about influences and realizes there are some that we don't see. Go fun finding them!:)
People hate ads because they remind them of many people now - disrupting in order to get money from you, only interested in speaking to you repetitively and for a short time, making broad promises, thinking or portraying themselves as smarter, more glamourous, or more emotional than you. Pretending to be your friend. Pretending that you're necessarily 'on trend' for eating a stupid new sandwich.
My "Recommended" section has been dumb lately. I don't subscribe to Nerdist because I only like 2 of their shows. When new videos come out, they're usually there, but not since YT switched up the website. For everything else, I just go to Subscriptions when I want to watch videos. Plus, the SciShow videos come out about the same time every day, so that helps.
>Make sure your opinions are actually your own. Yeah, none of your opinions are your own. A mind constantly takes in input from the outside world, since you were born, you were shaped by everything around you and everything you interacted with. A mind in a vacuum doesn't exist, all of your ideas and thoughts were caused by some other person, thing, or event.
Yes; but you choose which ones you take on (or not 'actively' choose) and then these opinions are yours. In a one off situation - a choice - what you work with is your own opinion at that time, even if its an amalgum of others, friends, family, based on loved or not loved adverts. He's pointing out that when a sale is up, look at what you think, not at what the seller wants you to think,
The combination of forces that you just described are unique to you. Only you have had those exact interactions and experiences. How your mind processes all of the input is influenced by the levels of chemicals in your system at the time. If you are arguing that every choice we make is predetermined by all of those factors, I guess I agree with you.
I could not believe it when I saw an ad for a mascara that is supposed to give you thick, luscious lashes (aren't they all?) & at the bottom in tiny letters it said that the model was also wearing individual false lashes. I guess that mascara didn't work well enough.
i havent watched tv in ages, so i dont see all to many ads. The only ads i see are online on services like youtube and crunchyroll, but i always ignore them and skip em if i can
- Every day, individuals face persuasion attempts from ads, salespeople, and friends urging them to take certain actions or adopt particular opinions. - Persuasion often operates through two main routes: the central route, involving thoughtful consideration, and the peripheral route, relying on quick judgments or gut feelings. - The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) is a framework used to understand responses to persuasion, categorizing them into central and peripheral routes. - Factors influencing the chosen route include personality traits (e.g., need for cognition), the importance of the topic, and situational factors such as distractions and time constraints. - Emotional responses, credibility of the message source, and whether an opinion aligns with the majority or minority can also impact the persuasiveness of a message. Recognizing these factors can empower individuals to critically assess and shape their own opinions.
With how much they bombard us with thousands of ads everyday, how do they expect it to be effective. It’s pestering more than anything. They are persuading in the slightest.
i'm so glad this video isn't just one of the arguments where they're like "ohhh but it doesn't matter if you hate this ad and product!!! ads WILL persuade you no matter what!!! you are being persuaded!!!" such a stupid argument stg
Most of the adverts I see are on UA-cam and they're so annoying. I actively try to avoid the products shown in the ads just because I hate them so much. Like I refuse to watch Game of Thrones just because I keep getting the same ad over and over again. It could be an amazing show but I'll never know.
What if Pepsi made an ad for Coke, but poorly? I ask that you think critically, even if ads annoy you. Not every part of a business sees eye-to-eye. I am sure that some of the photographers and actors have problems with the ads of Game of Thrones, they just don't have a say in it.
Sometimes when ads do the most frustrating things possible, they’re doing it to gain more reviews. It’s called reverse psychology. The more you tell others not to do it, the more likely they will do it. It’s like how everyone talks about how bad a movie is, and that makes you curious enough to watch it even more.
Evolution via survival has designed us to select the faster/easier solution. Successful education is, if nothing else, the habit of resisting that urge and investing the additional mental resources to deeply understand something. Unfortunately, even those with a higher education can't devote the necessary consideration to every topic.
Modern ads have caused myself and others to ditch cable and now that yt has been goingcrazy with ads since the election, i skip all ads or convert videi to mp4 for offline viewing.
Very nice video. Good job on this channel, there is some pretty high quality stuff on here. I especially like the custom images that help explain the topic. Unfortunately, on the channel SciShow I noticed that there are rarely these kinds of images nowadays (usually, just the text being spoken is displayed in a big font). I hope this channel will not lose the images over time as well.
i like to belive in things in procentages of how likely it is to be true and from there i decide wheter i should use it or if i let it be until i find more evidence against/for it
I'm a super critical thinker, so I pretty much over analyse and over think everything. I'm also pretty cynical and distrustful, which actually gets in the way of doing things sometimes...since I'll do it regardless of time constraint. lol That said, I don't feel like persuasion works on me unless I'm inclined to do something or buy said product already...but I don't change my purchases dependent on ads.
So what do you call people like me? Overly think about things, recognize that all ads are just trying to sell me something, and immediately starts to judge it harshly no matter what it is?
I think it comes down to the kind of person we are. People who enjoy pleasing others may go with the majority opinion because they feel it will make others happy. I like purple, but if most people like green I may vote for green even though I don't like green as much. Then there are people who are happier with conflict, and will vote for something even if they don't like it because they know it will upset that majority. Like If I were to vote for orange instead of green, then go around telling people that green voters are ruining the school and we have to ban all the people who like green. Then me and my orange posse can take all the green for ourselves while the gullible green voters who flipped to orange because they were afraid of being banned, get shafted and lose out on the wonderful greenness that could have been.

How to persuade people
Step one: max out charisma
Step two: Profit
Boom Bob Correction: Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
How to presuade people
Step 1 : Be hot
Step 2 : ???
Step 3 : Profit
Wait, where's my underwear???
Step 1.5: implant a flesh bud in their brain if you can't convince them to kill the Joestars.
aww geez, it seems like i dont even have charisma aww geez

Dammit, Jim!
I didn't pay much attention to the content of the video and gave it thumbs up because that's what the majority did, which means the video was good, right?
What if the majority is wrong ? How would you know that ? You want others to decide what is good or bad "for you" ? :)
Probably, which is why I gave it a thumbs down. Gotta have balance, right?
I respect your decision, but I NEVER EVER give a like to a video without watching it. Not even to channels I like or love.
hehe PkmnRay you really proved you didn't pay much attention to the video... LOL
Four likes good, two likes bad...
Persuasion is easy. Roll a d20, add your charisma modifier and, if applicable, your proficiency modifier.
Of course, this only works for 5E...
its only easy if they have bad stats and or you have a high charisma
Even if my charisma is like a 3?
Dude I have like a +7/8 on my latest character.

Quick Fix
"Make parents buy".
Kids don't make parents buy anything. Weak parents cave.
Big difference.
Robert Pruitt Christmas present or birthday? You must ask them what they want for something?
mojo2418
Asking is asking. And if you ask and then buy what they wanted, that still isn't the kid making the parent buy it. The parent chose to.
As I said in my op, big difference.
If the parents are weak and cave because they don't want the kid to hate them, feel left out, etc etc etc, that's on them, not the kids, and certainly not the advertisers.
People need to grow up and act like real adults, instead of letting pretty ads control them.
I am an emotionless burger, I rarely go for things based on feeling, and when I do, the feeling is skepticism.
In most cases people simply don't know how many tricks work on them and with that presume no tricks work on them...
You just made me want a burger..
if you were emotionless how did you describe yourself as a burger?
THANK YOU SCISHOW!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!

One time I got an ad for a pan that “makes per fat pancakes every time”. All I could think is “you didn’t put any baking powder...”
Literally the first video after this was an ad of a doctor in a white coat telling me to get checked for syphilis
I got persuaded by an infomercial on a hair tie once, and I learned my lesson.
Never again.
"I'll cut the price of both items in half"
My brain: _No no no_
"Buy one get one free"
My brain: _Yes Yes Yess!_
"Buy one, get one free" is dead. "Buy one and get the other for a dollar" is the new model.
Thanks for making this episode of SciShow Psych!
How thumbnails attract viewers
I believe they already did a video on it. I may be wrong though.
Hank: Yes, I finally watched Game of Thrones.
Me: CLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED!!!
I haven't found a single add that persuaded me to buy or even check their product. You lot are so easy man
I'm sold. You persuaded me Hank. Good job...
I think you should incorporate some subtle music into your videos whilst you're talking. I think it would make an already awesome video a truly amazing experience.
Antonio R. S. I have never nor will I ever watch game of thrones. Mainly because I'm a fantasy nerd and have always loathed Martin. I wish someone would turn Stephen R Donaldson's series into a show or movie series.
Uh... Okay then. Not sure what exactly that has to do with adding music to SciShow, but okay then.
you cant watch GOT and not tell us what you think Hank!
2:27 yes I am happy
though not quite for that reason. it is some extra icing on the cake though.
Very nice explanation
keep up the good work hank!
The most important video. Has to be played with some Hunger Games epic movies and echoes. So nice of you to show that it even works on you. Omg man you gave up. I will never watch because...of you know it. After watching South Park a person becomes more suspicious about influences and realizes there are some that we don't see. Go fun finding them!:)
I was persuaded to come watch this video from the "Restaurant Tricks" video.
People hate ads because they remind them of many people now - disrupting in order to get money from you, only interested in speaking to you repetitively and for a short time, making broad promises, thinking or portraying themselves as smarter, more glamourous, or more emotional than you.

Hank, umm, your collar is still a bit, rollercoastery. Ya dig?
This really helped with a school project, brand new sub! Thank you!

Yesterday I started getting Vtuber ads sprinkled in the constant barrage of fast food, soft drink and smartphone ads. Life is good.

The majority opinion says "Poppin' Collar Hank is awesooooooome"
- Every day, individuals face persuasion attempts from ads, salespeople, and friends urging them to take certain actions or adopt particular opinions.
- Persuasion often operates through two main routes: the central route, involving thoughtful consideration, and the peripheral route, relying on quick judgments or gut feelings.
- The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) is a framework used to understand responses to persuasion, categorizing them into central and peripheral routes.
- Factors influencing the chosen route include personality traits (e.g., need for cognition), the importance of the topic, and situational factors such as distractions and time constraints.

Green? The students love you!

Good for you you finally watched it
I actually used these facts for my school speech and subbed!
Thank You! Thank You!
Didn't find this as insightful as previous vids.
I had a dream last night i met hank green and he hugged me and i cried
It's not much, but I'll definitely take it.
Advertisements mostly dissuade me from doing something. I would be more likely to believe something if it were a friend telling me.
This anti-genjutsu training video is goooood!
i'm so glad this video isn't just one of the arguments where they're like "ohhh but it doesn't matter if you hate this ad and product!!! ads WILL persuade you no matter what!!! you are being persuaded!!!" such a stupid argument stg
I really like that shirt.
I stopped cleaning and started swiffering! Just call cleaning something whimsical and now it's Fun! Yea!
Most of the adverts I see are on UA-cam and they're so annoying. I actively try to avoid the products shown in the ads just because I hate them so much. Like I refuse to watch Game of Thrones just because I keep getting the same ad over and over again. It could be an amazing show but I'll never know.
Maybe one day when the hype is over. Then i'll watch it..... maybe if I remember it. That's my thought process at least.
What if Pepsi made an ad for Coke, but poorly? I ask that you think critically, even if ads annoy you.
Not every part of a business sees eye-to-eye. I am sure that some of the photographers and actors have problems with the ads of Game of Thrones, they just don't have a say in it.
Everyone's inner hipster is a defense mechanism against the stupidity of the masses.
"Trust me, I'm a doctor." Is that from Airplane!
Commercials are a large reason why I don't have cable TV anymore.
3:44 I bet this is why we have the Appeal to Popularity logical fallacy.
I read ADS and immediately thought 'aim down sights'. I can't be the only one
Ahah ahaha I'm watching this for a class project- ty for this useful information
Yes, we are happy now that you finally watched Game of Thrones! One of us, one of us...
I need science to tackle what bed to buy.
Not a bad video, thank you.
Sometimes when ads do the most frustrating things possible, they’re doing it to gain more reviews. It’s called reverse psychology. The more you tell others not to do it, the more likely they will do it. It’s like how everyone talks about how bad a movie is, and that makes you curious enough to watch it even more.
Yes, I'm happy.
Now say that you like it!
Wow that dog really looks like Hank for some reason. 2:20
I trust everything scishow say
I thought you'd be persuading us to be a Patron after the video. I stand corrected.
Mainframes are so good.
It's crazy how much all of this applies to the election and political ads.
Just because you are being persuaded doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
No "never give up never give in" HANK
I'm always in a bad mood so people can't influence me.
*watches Starbucks add before video unwillingly*
NO! I AM *TRYING* TO GET OFF OF COFFEE! I'M NOT FALLING FOR THIS!
so being depressed helps with keeping my wallet full, good to know.

i like to belive in things in procentages of how likely it is to be true and from there i decide wheter i should use it or if i let it be until i find more evidence against/for it
The reason ads work so well, is because everyone thinks it doesn’t work on them.
I'm a super critical thinker, so I pretty much over analyse and over think everything. I'm also pretty cynical and distrustful, which actually gets in the way of doing things sometimes...since I'll do it regardless of time constraint. lol
That said, I don't feel like persuasion works on me unless I'm inclined to do something or buy said product already...but I don't change my purchases dependent on ads.
This 'need for cognition' stuff is new to me. Did I miss a video on it? If not, could we get one?
How Ads Persuade You
1 Lie
2 Get Rich from you believing them
i will never watch that bad show!!! strength be my guide.
So what do you call people like me? Overly think about things, recognize that all ads are just trying to sell me something, and immediately starts to judge it harshly no matter what it is?
Can I use this as an example in my presentation?
"I finally watched GoT are you happy??"
Yes. Yes we are.
are we?
If I am looking at something that is interesting to me and a commercial comes on it is automatically a bother, so I hate it and whatever it's selling.
I think it comes down to the kind of person we are. People who enjoy pleasing others may go with the majority opinion because they feel it will make others happy. I like purple, but if most people like green I may vote for green even though I don't like green as much.
Then there are people who are happier with conflict, and will vote for something even if they don't like it because they know it will upset that majority. Like If I were to vote for orange instead of green, then go around telling people that green voters are ruining the school and we have to ban all the people who like green. Then me and my orange posse can take all the green for ourselves while the gullible green voters who flipped to orange because they were afraid of being banned, get shafted and lose out on the wonderful greenness that could have been.
