“Fact: This sentence will become more and more truthful every time you read it.”
“Studies suggest that repeated statements are perceived as more truthful than statements made less frequently.”
“Repetition imbues a statement with familiarity.”
“Frequency breeds familiarity, and familiarity breeds trust.”
Repeated exposure to an opinion makes people believe the opinion is more wide-spread.
According to marketing studies “…consumers remember a statement that gets repeated often, believe it to be true, and think it is the popular opinion.”
