The easiest people to advertise to are HN knowitalls that consider themselves infallible, completely logical beings.

Advertising works on you. You’re just, at best, describing a scenario where you aren’t being advertised things that you currently find appealing.

You’re currently on a social network that’s basically just YC’s advertising board.

That's a quippy response I've heard here before, but it doesn't check out. You, without any knowledge of my personal experience, are asserting that everything I know about my experience is wrong and I am deceiving myself by thinking I know anything about myself. But in truth, this is nothing more than your attempt to deceive me, plain and simple gas-lighting.

If that's the sum of your proof, your thesis is a joke. I am not the customer of any YC company, nor have I ever applied for a job at one, nor have I ever or will I ever apply to YC itself. Your attempt to cold read me was pathetic.

But you've heard of YC :P
