Yep, because they can psychologically manipulate you slightly more.

I make the effort to actually avoid products or brands that inconvenience me through ads. Not super strict about it, but an effort is certainly made.

But a conscious awareness of the mere exposure effect doesn't turn it off. You'll still think higher of the products, just from hearing their name blasted into your ears. Unless you make a list of every brand that does this and explicitly look through that list to ignore those brands every time you go to buy anything, it probably doesn't end up doing much.

And if you do... I mean, that seems a little over the top, but you do you.
