For those of us who don't block ads, we're constantly bombarded with targeted ads, right? Some of them are no biggie, like when I see ads for reptile websites offering deals on lizards or those workout ads for something called Speed Whatever, it is like a cheap Tonal. But then there are those ads that make me feel downright insulted. It's like, come on, do you really think I'm interested in that? And don't even get me started on the creepy factor of these anonymous computer bots trying to predict my interests. It's like they're playing a guessing game with my preferences and sometimes they just miss the mark completely. Makes me wonder, is that really how they see me?

Legalized adware.

Being stalked and spied on is creepy as fuck.

Even if I hit my head and found myself okay with the constant barrage of ads online, targeted ads are a fuck no, go fuck yourself for me.

I imagine they'd rather not see ads at all.

But random ads would at least (maybe) mean some company isn't tracking their every move.

If they can know what I want better than I do, then sure.

I'd rather drive through 100 Oklahomas with endless casino billboards than live in a world where billboards could change their advertising to reflect the kind of car I'm driving.

I think a lot of them are drastically inaccurate. I also wish so many of them would stop using thirst traps to hook people.
