And yet I haven't seen one ad that has a 'not interested' feature similar to YouTube.

I mean, if I could stop seeing washing machines or whatever, I'd probably click it.

do you clear your cookies and html5 storage? That should wipe any personalization that's happening, but the ads will become very generic then.

You can also block ads (Ublock/Umatrix)

Oh yeah I can do that, I'm just wondering why they're not too interested in direct user feedback from my end. Surely it would be useful to adjust their algos.
