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?

Ad companies get paid money for showing you ads.

They only have to convince the ad buyer (not you, the company wanting to sell you something) that you are a potential customer.

You are not the target of the ad company. The business selling stuff is their customer.
