    This is top level enshittification. You’re showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!

      ‘Targeted advertising’ is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.

        It’s targeting what they want to sell you depending on what target group you are, it’s never been what might actually interest you personally.

        I occasionally buy tools, and damn right I research them until I know they’re “buy it for life” quality

        Then I spend the next few weeks getting bombarded by ads for a tool I will never ever buy
