No they aren't. Spam is stuff I don't want and didn't ask for. Making them "relevant" is pointless. I don't want to be parted from my $ more. I don't want to be manipulated into spending money.
I also very rarely buy random stuff so it's not going to work. Saying you'll run a bot to do 24/7 psyops on me isn't appealing.
Why would I want ads that are "relevant"? Why would I want something hyper-targeting me to waste my money on consumerist BS? Why would I want something that works against what I think is virtuous (living simply, saving and investing, donating to causes I believe in)?
I'm just gonna block everything. Nobody's argument about "well akshually we need ads to support our service" is going to work on me anymore. I will actively feel good about the sabotaging the business model of someone who is actively trying to sabotage my character. Or just log off and move to a cabin in the woods maybe bc this sounds like hell.
