So, the era of targeted marketing has gone off the tracks. Over the past few days, I've been getting ads on Youtube for San Fransico political issues. Seems pretty odd, since I live about 1,800 miles (straight line) from SF. Haven't been there in at least 25 years.
Meanwhile on Facebook, I've been getting flooded with ads for women's bras, and for custom scooter seat covers. There's no reason for anybody to think that I'd have any interest in either product.
Of course, I still get loads of targeted ads that at least make some sense. But those are just silly.
