We really need limits on how much advertising can be on the screen and places you can advertise and how often you can be advertised to that would make a hell of a lot of sense. When you have shitty web pages like an index card sized recipe drawn out to 15 pages long to make you click through tons of ads. The advertiser should be able to detect people doing that s*** and not pay them.
But targeted advertising is also a single ad on a social media site for a brew pub or a florist in your neighborhood advertising a mother's Day special or a new cheap arrangement they just made out of an accidental over-order.
When ads go wrong they really go wrong.
