here (Germany) we still have those TV ads for beer, and I can assure you
that the advertised brands (its not up to me to decide whether they are
rubbish or not) are the ones that are available virtually everywhere, so
I believe that it is safe to assume that they are also the brands that
sell.
So yes, unfortunately at least in some cases advertisements apparently
pay.

The same here. So maybe I have developed some skills obscuring my
"profile" to "them", or (maybe more likely) I am just too dumb to realize
that those ads *are* in fact targeted at me :-)
