Isn't it ironic that

I would argue it is probably not us. First, Loungers, and gamers in general have above average intellect and so are not as easily swayed by advertising anyway (except DeeBye).

Loungers, yes

Gamers?
When I was into FPS games I can't tell you the number of people who would be swayed into buying this or that piece of hardware they didn't need because they had some graph showing +10% performance... but that +10% performance took them from 100 FPS to 110 FPS... in other words, offering no perceptible difference given the monitor refresh.

In most cases it wasn't even advertisers who would sway them. They'd find the review themselves on some hardware review site and come to the conclusion they needed to spend that money all by themselves!
