for years companies have been trying for “targeted ads” but in rare occasions I see ads, they’re terribly off the mark, like you have mentioned
Companies have been trying and succeeding with targeted ads*
There's a reason a bunch of the biggest tech companies in the world's main revenue is these ads, they absolutely work unfortunately.
You'd be surprised to hear, how many users are still clueless and don't use an ad blocker.
More than half of the surfers don't use an ad blocker: https://earthweb.com/how-many-people-use-ad-blockers/
Honestly that's one of the things I'm stoked on about this, the fat gets trimmed. Leave all the clueless people with the loudest, uneducated opinions to sink on the redditanic.
