There is nothing bad showing relevant ads, but thats not the point, this data can be used to manipulate you in many ways.

To get an idea how bad it is watch this Documentary on Netflix - The Social Dilemma

food for thought. what is the intention of showing relevant ads? to help user find solution or abuse it? As much as I feel that I am smart or strong not to be manipulated, I think I cannot resist if the ads relates to me. feels like google try to hack my brain and emotion, find loophole in weak human soul.
