Do the targeted ads even work? For me I either see ads for something I just bought, or for something I have no interest in.

I often see ads for something I just bought, but I can remember many experiences where targeted ads hit My eyeballs for something I was still contemplating. Whether I bought anything in particular primarily because of such an ad I can’t say, but it seems likely.
