Obviously one is a very bad sample, but why are the ads I see on FB so badly targetted?

  You probably don't spend enough time on their sites to have a good ad targeting model of you developed. The closer you are to normal users, with hundreds of hours of usage and many ad clicks, the more accurate the ads will be for you.

    You mean the closer I am to the top of the bell curve, the more your ads "shooting from the hip" will land? Who would've thunk it?!

  Did you block their tracking across the whole damn internet, by any chance?

  Same terrible experience for me while I was on FB. I was spending a lot of time there and I do shop a lot online. They couldn’t come with relevant ad targeting for me. For my wife they started to show relevant ads AFTER she went to settings and manually selected areas she is interested in. This is not an advanced technology everyone claim FB has.

  Instagram has killer ad targeting; no wonder all these direct-to-consumer brands flock there. FB not so much I agree.
