Dear CEO’s and services, If you’re ads weren’t such crap I wouldn’t need the adblocker in the first place.

I laugh at A.I. If A.I. was any good, some percentage (really, guys, any percentage would be nice) of the “tailored ads” would actually be tailored to me. If I look at ads/browse/search for washing machines, you can reasonably expect that within 3-4 days I will have bought a washing machine. SO STOP SENDING ME WASHING MASHINE ADS FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS!!!

Simone Giertz said she upset a few advertisers when she said something to the effect of “All ads are basically dogshit. The good ads are like when your dog shits on the linoleum instead of the carpet.”
