>but I can't be the only one that prefers to see relevant ads?

Of course. Everyone wants relevant ads.

But we want ads relevant to the site / subject we are browsing. Not to our past purchases, internet usages, exact location and what not. That's just too invasive.



That's not true. If I'm reading a generic newspaper website, I don't want to see ads relating to the article or the newspaper. I'm more than happy to see ads for sneakers and watches.


Then we are different. But while the advertisers are happy to oblige to your wishes, I don't have a chance that they would respect mine.
