What are you trying to accomplish by clicking "not relevant"?

My (naive) hope was that after a while they'd give up.

Is there a better response, you think, that would possibly decrease the number of ads I see?

The "not relevant" button certainly means "please, show me other kinds of ads".
I've tried "I see this too often" for a period of time without any better results.

And in the end, I don't really see much variety in the ads I see. Decent variety in account/company, but very little variety in product/market type.

For what is worth, this does work on Twitter (by straight blocking the account which posts the ad). I started seeing noticeably fewer ads after doing that.
