Now I;m just wondering if there's subliminal messages in this video...

Subliminal messages are not words. They are images, and they do work. Otherwise, they wouldn't use them.

Concern over watching something that seems innocuous but then feeling disturbed without knowing what was really seen. Concentrating on ads is a way to sidestep this issue.

subliminals advertising works but not immediately after a few flashes on a film screen,
but being bombarded with the same messages to the subconscious for years and years DEFINITELY works

I'd say that advertising works mostly through the mere exposure effect.
One question tho.
Is there a psycological described feeling of over exposure?
Becasue oftentimes when I see a brand name for wich the advertisement is frequent and annoying I avoid buying that brand..

The reason certain subliminals don’t work is because they don’t target the feelings. Because all subliminals is are affirmations being repeated. But I found subliminals that target emotions and feelings work like magic.

Dayum. I'm writing about subliminal messaging for my propadeutical paper and why it sometimes works, from a neuronal perspective. This background knowledge is surely going to help me. I'll definitely go through the sources you posted. Thanks SciShow Psych. Such science. Much wow. You inspire me c:

What about images instead of words? The brain reconizes images way faster then words and can have an effect on people before they are conciously aware of what they're looking at.

If this is "fake", then why did the US and British Governments outlaw subliminal advertising?
