Marketing is supposed to increase demand for a product or service but it doesn’t always work that way. What do you use less or even stopped using because of the company’s marketing?

    As another user said, I’ve been boycotting US products and services. I still use Garmin since I have a watch, HRM, bathroom scale, speed monitor and cadence monitor from them.

    I do use them less now since they’re insisting on adding “try the new Garmin+ for free” ads everywhere on their platform.

      I have a eufy doorbell cam I’ll be replacing after I move because the app is just flooded with ads. Aquara has one that supposedly ties into home assistant and frigate nicely.

      If there were a product remotely in the ballpark, I’d consider switching. Fortunately, this is pretty much the only time in the past ~decade I can think of them doing this.
