@c.m.alongi_author: #greenscreen This is ✨️mostly✨️ a joke, since CITADEL sold enough copies over 3 years to make up the advance payment. So clearly I'm doing something right! I just don't know what that something is. #autism #BookTok #Citadel #citadelbook
Ads make me hold grudges against the product lol. Like, stop trying to manipulate me!

I literally dislike a company that pays to have a ad I can’t skip

That was a pretty good ad, making an entire premise of the video about it and capturing the target audience with the hook. Nice work! Will probably check if out (if I remember when it's here)

For the longest time wondering why they spend SO much on ads that do nothing, now I’m finding out IT WORKS ON SOME PEOPLE? 😭😭

years ago, a grocery store ad repeated its name again and again and again on the radio, it irked me to no end. to this day, I've never set foot in their stores

☆Starsoul☆ :
autistic people can still very much fall for relatability, due to the inherent lack of social connections in early childhood they're more likely to fall prey for things that appeal to them specifically ^_^

Me, autistic: *skipping the video because I know it is an ad even if I want it but just because it’s an ad*

not neurodivergent and ads 100% do not work on me. so genuinely not sure how accurate these studies are

The ONLY time I don’t mind the ads is if it’s something I genuinely like and am interested in

but autistic individuals can feel empathy for non-living objects. just say the book would be very sad if we did not read it and it would probably do the trick

I know this is a joke, but there’s a HUGE difference to my adhd self between someone talking about their book in a tiktok who is being honest that “hey I’m an author talking about my book!” while I’m naturally scrolling, Vs me seeing an ad for a truck or laundry detergent IN THE MIDDLE of a YouTube video that YouTube is FORCING me to watch in order to continue watching the video I ACTUALLY want to see. And I just usually skip past the parts of a video in which the creator is doing a “sponsored by” section because that doesn’t interest me, but I know they are just doing it to get paid and that doesn’t bother me as much as a forced ad they didn’t put there themselves.
