The advertising done online these days is typically tailored to the user. Different people will see different ads, based on things such as their YouTube viewing history and eBay purchases.

I wouldn’t mind so much; however, my wife asked me to purchase something for a gift. I otherwise never would have bought a “Magic Mixies” toy.

I’m seeing ads for all sorts of crap now. I guess the only way to shift the advertising back (to 1% revolution and other slightly more tolerable spots) is to buy more cards.

One way or another, advertising works.
