Talking to people, and seeking things out myself when I perceive a need for something. If my shoes wear out then I'll decide for myself to seek out new shoes at a shoe store. If I don't know what brands are good, I ask other people what brand they use and if they're happy with it.

If I'm missing out on some product that I might like but I've never heard of because I block ads, that doesn't matter to me. If I don't know that I would want it, then I don't want for it. But generally, people talk about things worth talking about and I'd rather hear about new products from real people who don't have a commercial stake in promoting the thing.
