> "better targeted with useless ads."

That made me laugh.

> "SEO optimized junk" This did too.

>"only get very targeted advertising from business big or small"

Wait, did I misunderstand your first points?

Seriously, is this post a joke or were you serious? I cannot tell.



I totally get what the op is saying. I get a ridiculous number of adds in my email. I never click on them. But I don't actually mind knowing about deals and product offerings. I wouldn't mind having an app where all these offerings are sorted intelligently in some easy to see manner.


OP is complaining about companies gathering data to better target you with relevant ads and in the same breath is complaining that his ads aren't targeted enough.

You can't have it both ways. I would say that a good portion of the ads I see are surprisingly relevant, but I might be biased because as a marketer, the people targeting me are the best marketers out there.
