No but if you spend a bit of time you can finesse a system. I’ve been not using Facebook for a while but a few years ago I noticed they had “likes” and “see more of this” so I liked as much Cthulhu related ads as I could find and my ads pretty quickly looked like they were being served from carcosa.
I suspect that we will not ever see all this information actually give us better ads. The people in charge of this sort of stuff typically just want to get more clients so they are happy to inflate. The problem I see is that there is a whole lot of personal data being sent around all over the place to fly by night companies with no incentive to protect it.
