Targeted advertising seems to benefit everyone compared to untargeted advertising?

My google ads are mostly saas software and tech gadgets, which I prefer over random ads.

If a lip gloss company wanted to advertise, is it not better that they can target people who like lip gloss instead of a random audience?

The cost of targeted ads, as they are currently implemented, is privacy. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze.
