Let me tell you this: I'm from the Flemish part of Belgium. YouTube and other sites with ads can't figure out that I don't speak French.

So even with this simplest of use-cases: GPS says I live in Flemish part, never search in French, etc. Still they sometimes show me French ads, which is a total waste of course.

So I don't believe the tech is so crazy advanced already.

There are a surprising amount of people that think Belgium is majority French speaking. While I understand Belgium is tipping few foreign curricula with such trivia, I blame it for this default across the many services that do it wrong. Also, non-Belgians I meet rarely know two-thirds speak Dutch rather than French.
