This is one of the reasons I hate and ignore all advertising. Commercials have NO IDEA who they are marketing to anymore. All I can think about when any commercial or advert plays is how fucking out of touch the company is to be showing the product getting used in a 26000 sq foot house EVERY TIME. I don't have a garage, I don't have a lawn, I don't have a basement, I dont have a house, I don't have a dog, I don't have kids because none of this shit is sustainable or affordable. What world are you marketing to you board rooms upon board rooms of assholes?
If a vacuum cleaner company wants to correctly advertise a vacuum to the masses, they would now have to have the commercial show a lonely man getting off of the night shift of his 3rd job, taking a bus back to his squalor closet of an apartment, and then passing out gazing at the vacuum which has been sitting unused in the corner of the bedroom for 8 months, because the only world where he has the time and energy to use it is in his fucking dreams.
And funnily enough ads are way way more targeted now than any other time in history.
Apart from the obvious privacy concerns i actually prefer non targeted ads, because they are less effective.
But of course, you're auto-opted into personalized ads and the majority of users couldn't be bothered to figure out how to opt out
