Most don't speak to me as a consumer anymore, anyway - I can't afford the car, the drug, the insurance, the legal beagles, the cosmetics - pfft...long past sexy attraction factors. Got all the digital "devices" and probably at least one digital service too many. I even hate the ones for animal charities. I run, run away to fill the dishwasher, the washing machine, empty the dryer, let the dog out.
