Not that I'm a fan of ads, but I find it interesting that this post specifically complains that the ads aren't targeted enough ("my ad was for furniture - ah yes, just what i wanted" / "i do not have a dog" / "i don't need sunscreen") when I would expect the post's author also probably objects to being profiled by ad networks.
It would be less curious if the post was saying something around like "I object to fandom monetizing at all", but also that also probably feels like a less sensible thing to say.
