    The advertisers are paying for ads to he shown to people who have shown an interest in humidifiers. If they aren’t clear enough that people who have recently purchased the humidifiers shouldn’t be targeted, Google isn’t gonna correct them and show the ads to fewer people.

      Yea, google basically profits off of all their data, so it’s either use it or be left out. They don’t really give a shit if advertisers bleed dry, there’s not much of a competition for Google.

      You know how most of the ads on YouTube are watched by kids on their parents phones. But on Google’s database they’re some adult individual with this and this interests. Google fucks over both ends.
