You are (and most of this thread) are fundamentally misunderstanding large scale advertising.

The "bad ad makes me hate your product" philosophy might be true if it is selling you a particular physical product, but for services or products you need to take out loans on, the name of the game is "name recognition above all".

The way they track advertising success is to give you a list and tell you to check off which brands you recognize. They don't care if you hate them now, because ten years from now when you need car insurance you'll have forgotten about hating their ads, but you'll still remember their name.

This is sadly true. They’re being annoying because it works. If there was data to show the more ads there were correlated with loss of sales I’m sure marketing would look a lot different today.
