@benjaoming @azonenberg @mnot IME they were never particularly good at actually precisely targeting the ads. At best I'd get the same "demographic" targeting that TV would provide. Cars, fast food, movies etc
The only time I actually saw ads that genuinely interested me was from a service that delivered ads based on the content they existed alongside. For example ads for example a webcomic had ads for other webcomics. And that doesn't require any creepy profiling of viewers.

@beeoproblem @benjaoming @mnot i have no idea how good ad targeting is these days because i haven't seen an ad in any of my browsers in years. The last time i did, i think it was for a drug to treat a condition i don't have and would be very unlikely to develop. So not exactly well aimed
