Would it be fair for me to say that your entire argument is a hot take that ignores evidence to the contrary when it contradicts your priors, because it makes you feel better and smarter even though better quality arguments exist?
Not every purchase a person makes is some decision derived from marketing. You're basically arguing that people have no free will here and all decision-making is outsourced to advertising.
I see ads for things I don't buy and have no interest in all the time that do try to use the method of appeal you describe. Your model falls apart and doesn't explain this.
