I am the opposite, If I see a targeted ad, I just leave the site.

Moreover, if I see any ad of any product. I put that product/service on my I want to avoid this product if possible list.

I do not like propaganda and that is what ads are.

If I need something, I will search for it. Do not tell me what I need.

The site usually does not usually handle the serving of ads themselves. They often use a service like AdSense to outsource advertisements. Just because a site has targeted ads doesnt automatically mean its bad.
