I think online advertising is mostly a hoax, with very few exceptions. I usually dismiss anything that remotely resembles an ad and just shut it off, even if it was really interesting. So I tend to think that the companies that pay for ads online are the ones paying for the cost of browsing the Internet for free, so I hate ads a bit less after that :)

I know this isn't what you mean to emphasize, but this reads a bit as "only products and services no one on the internet hears about are not a hoax". Of course you know it's more nuanced than that, but your comment makes your worldview seem narrower than you probably intended.

>I usually dismiss anything that remotely resembles an ad

And if the targeted advertising isn’t detected? Isn’t the whole topic here to advertise in a way that doesn’t seem like a website banner ad?

Facebook and Google users, for instance.
