Until one of us shows some kind of proof, we are both just guessing. Now companies might do dumb stuff, but they don't just continue to grow and dominate by making exclusively bad decisions. Google is built on targeted advertising, and it's paid off for them very well, so it can't be a complete boondoggle. The wikipedia article on targeted advertising says that targeted ads make about 2.7 more money than the alternative. I don't have any numbers on material costs, but I can't imagine it costing users that much in electricity. Still, it is just a guess so if you have anything that shows otherwise I'd love to read it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_advertising https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_advertising
