Wrong, regardless of whether you buy the "product" you will still end up
paying.

Say a product in the Proctor and Gamble brand is advertised, you may not buy
that particular product, but you are likely to have purchased P&G products
previously...and may continue to do so. It is perfectly conceivable that the
income from ALL of P&G's range funds their marketing department. As a
result, as a product end user, you pay. Fact.

And let's face it, most big brands advertise.
