Nothing. It's a win-win. Consumers get personalized, tailored ads. Businesses reach audiences that actually want their products.
What annoys me are ads for products I've already purchased (amazon is terrible about this), or the same ad plastered 20 times across multiple sites.
Instagram handles ads pretty well IMO. They are non-intrusive, easy to digest, and highly relevant.
Facebook OTOH, has become one giant scrolling, auto-playing, clickbait/video ad. There is essentially 90% junk to 10% information (posts/photos/etc). IG has the same ratio but in reverse.
People love to bemoan the horrors of internet advertising, but tbh I find it way less intrusive than other forms of ad placements (TV, radio, billboards).
Except autoplay vids w/ audio. Those should be banned flat out.
