I am mostly in the same situation (except Facebook has _maybe_ found me something I would be interested in buying), for all their information, for all their smart people, etc, they have 1 product... My guess is that it is because most ads suck, because a) 90% of all products are crap, and b) good products don't need that many ads. If somebody comes up with a better whatever, I will probably hear about it, but most new products are not revolutionary enough for that, but they are also not revolutionary enough for me to be interested in them as an ad.

The thing that gets me is I have a bunch of hobbies that I enjoy but don't really have time to dive super deep into. They aren't anything weird and there are many companies servicing their markets. I'm sure I have very little awareness of a bunch of things I'd like to buy for these. If I was being shown ads for products around my hobbies I would: 1. Definitely discover companies and products I wasn't aware of. 2. Buy stuff I probably didn't need but would be tempted into owning.
