Advertisers because customers are more likely to buy things.
Nobody benefits from showing me car ads *after* I have already bought a car.
...what they actually don't like is ads.
No, it's *personalized* ads --- ads that are totally divorced from any logical or reasonable context.
It's stupid to assume that I'm still interested in buying a product from last week when I'm viewing a totally unrelated web site. Personalized ads are just plain dumb most of the time.
- paulddraper 3y ago> Nobody benefits from showing me car ads after I have already bought a car. Fair enough. But what about after shopping for a car?
- jqpabc123 3y agoWhen I am on a car dealership web site, car related ads are fine, possibly even beneficial. There is a name for this, it is called "context sensitive" ads --- not nearly as dumb or annoying as "personalized".
- paulddraper 3y agoMaybe they should track you some more, to understand when you bought the car ;)
- jqpabc123 3y agoOr maybe we can just make this idiocy and the privacy invasion it feeds on illegal.
