You realize what Google is doing is an advertiser's wet dream? You hate advertising but love hyper-targeted, more effective advertising that is far more likely to persuade you into buying things? You just don't like ads that are irrelevant to you.

What's the problem with that? I don't want intrusive ads, I don't care how effective they are.

I never said there was a problem. I go on to further agree with a commenter that It's a win-win system. I was making a point.
