In a perfect world, I could appreciate the concept. At the end of the day, I do need to buy stuff, and I’d rather know about the available options. If I’m definitely not going to buy diapers but I’m definitely going to buy a new keyboard in the next month or two, I’d rather see keyboard ads than diaper ads.
But that’s only in theory. In practice, “targeted” ads are invariably sleazy scams. You bet I use uBO.
When have ads ever shown you the best available options? What you see is offers from the companies with the biggest advertising budget - not the ones with the best products or lowest prices
But when you go to the actual shop website and try to find the thing you need, it’s suddenly showing you bs and stupid filtering and bad categories, even if they do have an item you want.
Who the fuck wants targeted ads outside of the corporate sleaze trying to sell their crap…

This is something that people don’t seem to understand. If it’s being advertised it’s a shit product.

Do I get free shit? Then I’ll take a few. Better than random shit I’ll never touch.
