I wouldn’t claim to not notice ads. Especially ads that interrupt videos. I remember quite a few of them. But, even the ones that are initially a little amusing become annoying with repetition, and what initially seemed mildly amusing instead seems just stupid.

I don’t know what “north face” is. Personally I have a strong preference to not display any brand logos myself. People considering some brand to be “fashionable” seems kind of absurd to me?

I don’t feel like the ads I’ve seen influence my purchasing decisions much? Because most of the things I see ads for, aren’t things I would be interested in. I get ads for like, women’s clothing (I’m a man) home shopping sites (not in the market to buy a house at this stage of my life), horror movies (which I hate to see).

Well, I guess some candy ads have influenced me, in the opposite direction from what they intended. A kind of candy which was once among my favorites, I found the ads objectionable to a degree which I have pretty much committed to not buying any of it until they substantially change their advertising. Another brand I’ve never purchased because an ad of theirs covered the content of a webpage I was trying to view and kind of broke the site, and so I kind of regard them as bad actors?

I’d be willing to give advertisers a lot of information about what I would be interested in if I could be assured that they wouldn’t try to combine that information with any other information about me.
