It might be just me, but I rather see irellevant ads like on TV which don't have that much power influencing my decisions on what to buy and what not to buy than a really targeted ad which makes it almost impossible to resist to spend my money on something I really don't need but just want.

I personally love the ads which FB and Google show - they are well targeted and look nice and some of them are very influential which I think is a good thing. Otherwise, I will still see ads but they aren't that helpful and just take up space.
- confounded 9y agoThis might sound snarky, but I don’t mean it to. Why do you need help from targeted advertising? What are the things where targeted advertising is a good way to get help? Is targeted advertising on Instagram and Facebook the zenith of this help for you? Can you imagine another way of getting this help?
- product50 9y agoLet me give you an example. While I was furniture shopping for my house, FB showed an ad of a nice boutique furniture store which opened less than a mile from where I lived. Since this was a new store, it had no Yelp reviews and had no word of mouth references. I visited the store and absolutely loved and bought a number of large items from there. I believe this is a positive development and these ads, at least to me, are a lot better than some of the non targeted things I see.
