    One could almost say the same thing about cars. But there are ads for those everywhere.

    But similarly, you never see an ad for a stove/oven anymore.

    I think you’ll occasionally see an ad for a fridge or washer/dryer but it’s usually actually an ad for a local appliance retailer. The manufacturers themselves don’t seem to make ads.

      I imagine, the difference is that profit margins are higher for cars and they’re more of a status symbol, something you’re seen publicly with.
