The targeted ads have no meaning at all

I hate the targeted ads. Every time I contact the Internet, something is put to me as if I was Richi Rich, and the algorithm behind it does not care clearly about anything other than the depletion of my wallet. What Wild is how bad advertisers are to draw my attention. They continue to miss something that must be painful painfully: I show me targeted ads for the products that I have not already bought.

Contrary to what you might think, there is no objection to advertising when it really solves. If you are tired of the same old corn flakes, I love to know what is there for me. If you are tired of Doritus and even I said online, I will not hate seeing some competing brands. What is going on around everything? I am fascinated by its formation and the flavor of files. Tell me more.

Unfortunately, this is not how the targeted ads work.

I do not need more than the same thing

Story time. Play the bass guitar and sing backup in a local cover band. Sometimes, the clubs we play provide a back line of home equipment, so we only offer our tools and amps. At other times, we have to attend the entire production ourselves. Recently, our band captain suggested that we all buy our microphone positions and XLR cables that are 50 feet long, only if the promoter dropped the ball on the thicker.

So I did what any responsible musician would do. I went online and searched for microphone and cable situations with solid reviews at a good price. I sorted the prices from low to high and continued to pass until the quality and customer satisfaction began in the plateau. For my money, this is the best way to buy equipment without falling into an endless trap of fatigue.

I found what I need and bought. A deal was done.

Then, I logged in Instagram I saw the targeted ads, I thought about it, and the positions of the microphone and the 50 -foot XLR cables. I already bought these things. They are in my house. I have since brought them to the vehicles. It works great. I have never seen an announcement of something that I had already wanted to buy after that, such as a new microphone, PA system or wireless setup. If I saw such targeted ads, I have already thought about my options before withdrawing my credit card and making a motion of recklessly.

He gets stupid

The targeted ads do not fail to show something new, but rather insulting intelligent activity. Two years ago, my family funded a new car. With the increasing family and the need for space, we went with the SUV that came at a serious price. Before the smell of the new car faded, my wife and I began to bomb with targeted ads for more new cars.

We just fell on a six -year loan. We are not the target audience for these ads. As children continue to diaper – which, by the way, the algorithm is definitely known – believed that we will get ads for air air, deodorant, or detailed services. As you know, things that actually would be logical for our new car’s position, family dynamics, and shopping habits.

I am in the third year of financing this car, and I have no plans to find a new car. Once the car is paid, I will drive it until the wheels fall because the car agents make me uncomfortable, and I do not want to spend this afternoon in the debate of the exact points to secure the gap, and why I do not want to pay for them. What a waste of time.
