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?

The point of ‘smart’ ads isn’t to give you a good experience. It’s to show advertisers they’ll target customers who are interested in their product.
Including ‘has this person already subscribed’ in the dataset would be more honest, but would lower then amount of ‘likely customers’ to sell to the company who wants the ad. You’re getting an odd experience because ad company is scamming the product company a lil bit. #capitalism.
