I heard that as well. Some say that the “fancy city folks” as which the Grimm brothers were perceived got an already watered down version of the real thing.

Compared to American adaptations such as Cinderella, the written Grimm version is the wild one, though.

When you are German and they read you the ORIGINAL Grim tales at bedtime, you know what’s up sooner than you’d wish.

Evidently, it’s not enough when many people try to block or ignore ads.

What would stop them would be a sufficiently large minority that really takes note of the ads they see and actively avoids the products. Like, even when it is the best for a given situation, buy the second best instead.

Only that would take away from the people they still do reach.

In theory, even a minority (20%?) could make ads harmful for the advertiser.
