> Dude. I don't watch TV/TV content online Again you missed my point. My point is advertising sticks and it works. You probably can still hum songs from commercials when you were a child.
Remember *my* prediction >> I can even make a prediction here based on what the actual science tells us about confirmation bias. You will now dig in deeper. You will attempt to prove it in some way. You are not changing our minds on this. You are only trying to prove it to yourself that you are right. Confirmation bias is a strong thing.
Your mind is literally trying to protect itself from what it considers is 'bad' knowledge. It will say and/or do anything to do so.
This is you trying to prove it (in a very small way). I too have been into *many* furniture stores and no one even attempted to sell me anything. Usually to get them to sell me anything I have to find them, they have little hustle. Its shocking I know! My point is you are ripe for pickings. Now that I have pointed it out to you, you will be on guard for it. You will now try to assimilate it and say you already had this knowledge. That is your mind trying to assimilate new knowledge that breaks out of the mold that you have taught yourself that only you have that ability. Everyone else is 'sad sack' and you are 'godly'. You have thoroughly convinced yourself of that. Nothing will budge you from that opinion because you do not want to. That is confirmation bias. It is holding you back.
https://xkcd.com/386/ I grow weary of this. I suggest seeing a doctor to work through whatever it is you are doing. You are not going to find the help you need here.
