As ads are inherently adversarial I prefer in fact badly targeted ads.

I do not want ads matching my weaknesses and likely to convince me to buy anything.

My weakness is rain and getting wet.

I saw an ad for $30 water proof shoes at Costco.

I have no illusion that these are the most comfortable/durable shoe in the world, but I do believe that they are $30 and water proof.

I didn't know they existed because they are online only. But I'm very glad I saw this ad, especially with the el nino season coming up in california
