I've found many useful products that I enjoy using, such as my ReMarkable tablet, through targeted ads. I'd have never known it existed despite looking/waiting for exactly this type of product for years.

Personally I've bought a total of 0 products from adverts ever (pretty much since ~1999).

Adding an ad blocker a few years ago this trend is likely to continue, though now my web pages work better and my privacy is enhanced :)
