except that i researched chevy thoroughly and decided that it sucked. now i have to go and purge what google thinks it knows about me. and theoretically repeat this process for every other ad network, but this is neither possible nor practical.
- coolso 9y agoPoint is, you researched Chevy heavily. Not everyone is going to buy Chevy but almost everyone is going to research Chevy. The role of Chevy ads being shown to everyone plays a role in this. So a Chevy ad still is “relevant” even on an ice cream site.
- leeoniya 9y agoads can serve as a great discovery mechanism. instead, they're this annoying parrot that continuously yells at you about shit you've already seen and researched or some other unchanging highest bidder. fwiw, facebook, has recently surprised me with its ad relevance on a few occasions. no thanks.
- marcosdumay 9y agoHum... The GP is almost certainly seeing those Chevy ads because he researched it. Not the other way around. That's how tracking ads (don't) work. You usually get ads for things you just brought (or decided not to), hoping that you didn't actually buy it yet or will buy more than once, and the medium can intermediate the transaction.
