If Google presented me with ads for things I might be interested in and in a non-invasive way, wouldn’t mind looking at them at all.

Instead I get ads for the seemingly random shit I have absolutely zero interest in buying. How they are consistently wrong about my spending habits is unbelievable. I have two fucking hobbies! I don’t see ads for anything relating to them. Ever.

Also, there's like 10 per webpage, and then you have the damn pop-ups when you scroll 🤬

Ad blockers block more than just shitty ads. They also block malicious ads.

Sounds like you need to give Google more private information
