capitalism as a neglectful parent who keeps serving you ads in a desperate attempt to offer you something you want but who never took the time to get to know you well enough to know what you want

i use adblockers as much as possible, and when i do get ads, they’re hilariously untargeted

I’m going 1-5% but I think this is by design. If as targeting was as efficient as it ‘could’ be, well there would be a lot less ads sold.

occasionally i get a wave of ads on facebook for something similar to something i've bought elsewhere online, but i report every ad i see as offensive anyway, without much regard for their content.

I block every advertiser I see on twitter to get more variety - out of 2000+ blocks, I think two or three have been vaguely appealing and left alone?
