I'm torn on this.
Targeted advertising should allow me to stop seeing ads for things I would never buy- I'm not a parent, so why do I need to see ads for diapers? And since so many services I use depend on ads to make money, showing targeted ads should mean that they can show fewer ads to me to make the same amount of money.
But on the other hand, they aren't showing less ads. They're showing more. There isn't sufficient competition in most markets using advertising to make a competitive advantage for "we show fewer ads". There's so much money in targeted ads that showing more is worth the lost customers from some people getting sick of it all. Worse, we're being trained to be used to it.
