All I ever see are political ads and geriatric pharmaceutical ads.
I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?

Because while a lot of ads that we see are targeted in some fashion to us specifically most are just sprayed out into the world relatively haphazardly. They know that 99% of people who see that specific ad aren’t going to go and buy their product right then but if you see that ad over and over its the first thing you’ll think of when you think about any given good or sevice

The sad reality: All that means is that the corporations don’t care about you. But the ad sellers can still use you to pad views.
