    I much prefer random ads anyways. Targeted ads are 90% something You’ve already recently bought.

    With random ads sometimes you see something interesting that you didn’t even know you wanted because you didn’t know it even existed.

    If I’m looking for a laptop I don’t care to see 1000 ads for laptops, I’m not going to just click an ad and buy one I need to research and deep dive into the kind I want.

      Yeah, that’s the thing, the more I want something, the less interested I am in ads. Their whole point is to sell me their product or service, not inform me if it is worth buying.

      And in the meantime, Amazon is trying to sell me a monthly subscription to once in a decade purchases.
