Unnecessary Helpful Ads

The other day I was researching on a couple of sites to see who had the best deal on a product. (Korra Season 3, ended up picking it up from Target.) But despite having made the purchase, I keep getting ads from the various places I searched (Amazon, BestBuy, and Target) telling me they have the product I was searching for. Ya, that's right you do, cause I specifically searched for it on your site, and in Target's instance, I actually bought it there. So why are you still showing me the ad for it?

 

Oh, I bought the BluRay and you're advertising the DVD. Oh that makes much more sense now.

 

Here's to complaining about Target's targeting ads. Remember to eat delete your cookies, kids!

It's even worse when I go to Amazon so I can give somebody a link to a product I already have (for reference's sake, usually), and then the ads continue to recommend me said product.

 

With that said, I do like targeted ads. It's nice every now and then to not be bludgeoned with ads for products I would never even care about. It's especially nice when I see targeted ads on Facebook for local businesses.

No, seriously, I have slower internet, watch a lot of YouTube, and have seen one inappropriate ad too many. Not happening.
