Let me show you in practical terms - I've searched for some neat cases for a Pixel 9 Pro (for a family member). I'm now receiving targeted ads for phone cases on Instagram on my Galaxy S25.
- Ads I'd like: More cute cases for either P9Pro or a Galaxy S25 I'm watching the ads on.
- Ads the company is pushing: iPhone-only cases which I can't use anywhere.
Quite staggering the incompetence of targeting those :)
- recursive 2y agoSounds like the targeting is just not specific enough yet.
- izacus 2y agoI'd hope "show cases for android phones on an android phone" to be something rockstar engineers at ad companies figure out rather easily.
- hakfoo 2y agoOr the ad content isn't being made specific enough. I know that at least for the cheap Aliexpress tier stuff, they'll make the same basic design for 12 different phones, so theoretically the same product listing might include iPhone and various Android variants, but the description might fail to reveal that. I'm sort of surprised that the industry isn't 70% print-on-demand these days-- just say "we have a nice sturdy case design for the top 500 phone models, and upload your own art".
