      The reason I hate ad personalization is because they flat out lie about what you’re into. I hate crypo with a passion and shortly after I joined shitter they sold a package which said that I just looooved cryptocurrency and got nothing but the most cancerous crypo ads for the next year.

      Like if you’re going to be building a profile around me and selling it to fucking everyone at least have the courtesy not to fucking lie.

      Same, I actually don’t mind personalized ads. Mostly because I know I won’t be persuaded to click and buy on the spot. At most I’ll Google the type of product and add it to my list to research for later. Seeing no ads is always better but when I don’t have a choice I rather see them for nerd shit than for baby/vehicles/vacation stuff.
