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?

I think it’s because it worked so well you made a whole Reddit post about it. You have hundreds of people talking about it and while we all are doing that, we are all thinking of the ads that we see repeatedly. But on a serious note, is it because repetition makes things sink in. If it’s for pandora radio and you already listen to it and subscribe. Are you going to consider switching if you also see supporting ads for it all day? Obviously this has a limit of cost vs reward but it’s working right now as you read this…
