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?

Ads are “smart” enough nowadays that your profile follows you from work to home.

You see the same ads a lot because the advertisers pay a lot to keep their brand in your mind.

You see ads for services you subscribe to because your profile matches people who use those services.
