Would anyone miss advertising on TV, Radio, Newspapers, Outdoor, Online etc, if tomorrow it all disappeared?

I appreciate its a source of funds for newspapers etc, but does anyone take any notice? Does anyone click online banners etc?

Personally talking the adverts online are just ridiculous. Most sites I seem to visit are so slow as they are riddled with them (even this site slows down thanks to the ads!!). Then you have the annoying self playing ones. To top it all the assholes AKA Google have them all over youtube now. Other forms of adverts (TV, papers) I don't find half as annoying.

I think most people don't realise the affect of advertising.
There's so much stuff out there you'd only know of because of advertising.

You might not buy it when you first see the advert, but if you are selecting one product over another without trying them, it's highly likely to be the "feel" you've built up from years of advertising.
