Same. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've discovered dozens of new shops, restaurants, and products in the past year alone, through targeted advertising. Especially on instagram.

I even found my current broker that I do most trades with via targeted advertising, and I'm super happy with it.

Targeted ads of course don't always show perfect companies and products, but they're often a good starting point if I'm looking for a product and I see an ad about it that looks interesting.

That being said, I do try to avoid ads as much as possible, but if I'm gonna see them, for example there's no way to block them on iOS instagram, I'd rather they be targeted than generic.
