NO. Your attention span is limited, if it gets saturated with "things I'm likely to buy" or "things I need", then I'm not going to see: (1) new and interesting things that could really open new possibilities (even if 90% of them are irrelevant) (2) things that might actually be a better deal for me, but that would otherwise not be targeted to me because the targeting algorithm might've guessed "this guy can afford better version Z, why suggest him cheaper version B instead" It's just as annoying as shop assistants that come to you with those ultra-annoying "how may I help you", "what are you looking for exactly" or "are you interested in X, Y or Z type products". And all I want to do at that point is squash their heads into minced meat with a baseball bat because I'm just fucking browsing to discover new things... If knew exactly what I wanted, I would have ordered it online and it would be at my door already! If I wanted advice I would have either done "serious" research going through reviews from multiple less biased sources, or just asked some friends around. Targeted adds are like having the creepy shop assistant following you around everywhere instead of discovering new things you would've never thought of and instead of finding better deals that would've never been pushed to you and being bullied with information instead of actually taking your time to make research before your attention budget and capacity for critical thinking gets fully spent and not having to actually interact with people and get some authentic mouth-to-ear feedback from friends with "skin in the game" (people actually motivated to have you enjoy and benefit long term from your purchase). I want businesses not trying to rob me of my limited attention span and limited ability to do critical thinking based selection. I don't really want what I "need". Fuck "what I need". I want what I (me, myself, just me, not someone trying to instill a message into my head) want. Pseudo-random, unoptimized, unfiltered and mostly useless information helps me keep being crazily and uniquely me.
