This happens. Personally, I do remember and sometimes blacklist companies that annoy me with ads too much. E.g. way before Groupon got known for being a force of destruction of small businesses, they pissed me off with retargeted ads, and earned a lifetime ban.

You too? Can't believe I'm not the only one. I used to see their crap every single time on Youtube a few years back (before I discovered adblockers).

Their brand was definitely imprinted in my mind so I guess it's a success... just a shame it's imprinted in the "go burn in hell" part of my mind.
