The reason I hate ad personalization is because they flat out lie about what you're into. I hate crypo with a passion and shortly after I joined shitter they sold a package which said that I just looooved cryptocurrency and got nothing but the most cancerous crypo ads for the next year.
Like if you're going to be building a profile around me and selling it to fucking everyone at least have the courtesy not to fucking lie.
