Layer in the fact that on Facebook--and other ad platforms--advertisers can import lists of people by name/contact info to target specifically using data from brokers, it gets creepier. I'm less bothered by a algorithm that tracks me and serves ads as long as I'm aggregated in the result tracking, but when they're tracking/analyzing me as a specific person is super creepy.
Edit: If you check out your Facebook > Ad Preferences you can see which companies have added you specifically to their ads by email/phone number. My list has a ton of car dealerships and real estate brokers.
