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 ads you’re seeing for products that you’ve already subscribed is the *advertisers* (the company doing the advertising on the platform) fault – they haven’t excluded their own customers from their targeting.

super common amateur mistake a lot of advertisers do.
