Who the fuck wants targeted ads outside of the corporate sleaze trying to sell their crap…
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.
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.
