Content-based ads generally seem relevant to me. If I'm browsing small tech blogs, independent sex toy review sites, or mad scientist forums, I tend to get good static advertisements which aren't targeted to me, but rather are just the ads that everyone who visits that site see. Those always seem to be relevant. The modern personally targeted ads are fucking terrible, excuse my language. They have a relevancy rate of <1% and usually just suggest things that I've searched google for and already bought. The amount of fucking data collection that goes into something that boils down to "advertise me things I've already bought or did a google search for in the past 2 weeks" is insane. You could get rid of 99.9% of the data collection and still serve the exact same ads based only on my Google searches.
