Why can targeted advertising be smart enough to show me ads at home for something I searched on my PC at work, but not smart enough to not show me the same ad 10x in a row or for services for which I’ve already subscribed?

No monetary incentive to show you variety.

THE CONSUMER does NOT pay them to present ads. The SELLER of the product pays them.

I am assuming that they charge them per period or per commercial, in which case, there is no incentive on their end to make a more complex algorithm.

I am not good at explaining, good luck.
