"Personalized Advertisements":

No Amazon, I'm not interested in buying any of these phones, I just bought a new one five days ago, remember? You sold it to me! And stop recommending the same book I already got five YEARS ago!

YouTube, why are you always showing me the same ad about an app I already own and use regularly? And why the FUCK do I you show me the new trailer of Star Wars Ep8 as an ad video before the actual video of the new Star Wars Ep8 trailer?

Audi, I am an university student, barely able to pay my rent, why are you telling me to buy your newest car? How do you expect me to afford this?

Monster, why exactly are you showing me job offers as "Technical Product Designer at company X" for which I'm not remotely qualified or even interested in?

Neither do I have 5000£ (I live in Germany, at least match the currency, ffs) to invest in some suspiciously promising stock market schemes, nor am I in any need of rheumatism pills or a hearing aid (I am 19). I cannot afford or want any Rolex watches and PLEASE, I don't know why you think I would, but I really do not need a special new and innovative brand of tampons, my dick is doing fine, thanks.

"Hot local singles near {my actual location} want to fuck!

At least there are still some ads you can trust to be relevant...

    @nikola1402 I use an adblocker in all my browsers, but these are the kinds of ads I usually get when using some apps.

    Job ads on Facebook sometimes have me as an airline pilot and a biochemist as well as a dev.

    Two more examples, just shown to me in the Spiegel Online app (German news):
    "The Alfa Romeo Giulia, starting at only 289€/month" and something about helping me find qualified employees for my call center I apparently own now?!????????

    We should be happy they don't know as much about us as we think.

    Or try just behave as if...

    Or, what I think is the main problem, they simply don't have the right amount of the target group compared to the amount of product consumers.

    Ads in app?
    Root ur android, install adblock pro.

    If on iOS, or somewhere u can’t get ad blocker, get a raspberry pi or an old pc with Ubuntu or something, and install pihole... u won’t regret it 😊

    Thank me later 😌😌

    A key factor in the success of SMM in the local business is the joint work of the contractor and the customer. They should take part in the discussion of advertising and audience, work with content, and work on the strategy. And it is worth mentioning about the main pain of regional promotion-the lack of traffic https://mediaonemarketing.com.sg/se... . But there are ways to work for a long time with almost no loss in leads and sales.
