This is not the fault of the platform, but the advertiser. When you see an ad that's too tailored most people just get scared anyway. Damned if you do, damned

- criddell 10y agoI don't believe that for a second. I've seen relevant ads beside search results on Google, but that doesn't really take a lot of magic to figure out that when I search for "Aeropress", I'm interested in coffee. Ads in podcasts have been somewhat effective as well. I use Blue Apron, I like Audible, I've checked out Squarespace, I bought a Casper dog bed. AFAIK, none of the podcasts know anything about me, but they do know generally who their audience is.
