You are more accommodating than me.

Profit driven targeted content of any kind, especially ads, are poison. I could never knowingly enable anyone in my household to harm themselves with something so toxic to brain health and quality of life.

In terms of things I want far away from my home and family, surveillance capitalism driven technology ranks up there with meth.

She does hate it everywhere else though and I find google search ads are not nearly as bad when you are actively looking for a specific product.

But yeah I tend to agree with you, the companies/products paying for the ads are not necessarily the best ones to buy from.
