    Most times I specifically Google the specifications of something I want to buy they can't even show me just things that fit that. I even tried Amazon's AI thing and it couldn't do it. I had to scroll through 3-4 pages of wrong things before I found what I wanted. If all this data collection is for ads they are really shitty at it.

      I get a lot of those. They also think I'm all types of colors and genders while having different sexual preferences.

      For the last few weeks YouTube has been serving me ads for ladies Gillette razors. My Google profile shows I'm a 41 year old straight male. Most ads are totally not relevant but this one is.... out there.

          The products I can find on my own. I just need an ad to tell me that the type of product exists (I'm aware that only monopolies would benefit from that kind of as).

          I'll be choosing the model/brand on merit. If anything the one being heavily advertised is going to be worse (or at least the cost of the ads is included in the price).

          I'd agree with that use of ads.

          Hell, my last laptop purchase was because of an ad, but I bought a totally different company's laptop.

              Do you wash your car every 6 months? You've gotta be rich! I wash my car only when I can't recognize it by its color anymore.

                I’ve read the explanation that you might be unsatisfied with your choice and looking for a different one.

                Implying they are selling products they know you are likely to be unsatisfied with.

                  Targeted ads worked much better when they were about the page you were looking at.

                  That’s contextual advertising, and they can still do it without being blocked because it can be hosted directly on the site - but they don’t.

                    I block ads in most places so I very rarely see them at this point so I think this dumps me onto some junk category as when the occasional as does get through they're nuts.
                    Like this one I got earlier today:

                    Oh, fellow ponzi scheme mark. I get the same ads but the country flag/pm of my IP address.
