    This assumes you’re in the market for the product / can boycott it.

    For example the biggest culprit of this in my area are ads saying “stop hiring humans” for some AI company. I may hate the company, but my opinion doesn’t matter. The only people that would be in the market for something like that are ghoulish CEOs who just view employees as a cost on their balance sheet. If that ad can make them laugh and look into your product, it doesn’t matter if the other 99% if people hate your company.

      And it’s a correct assumption otherwise the entire point of the meme makes no sense since someone will use it anyway

      Well yes, in this instance I assumed they were talking about the converse ad, and I was literally about to buy some new shoes from them cause my favourite ones just ripped. I saw the ad, will now find another brand to purchase from.
