How hard is it to accept that for a lot of this stuff, there is literally nobody that wants to recieve it. It's fly-tipping your junk into millions of people's gardens in the hope that 0.001% of them see it and it reminds them of something they had meant to do already... The tech you are talking about almost certainly raises this to an amazing 0.0012%, by the looks of it it primarily does this by changing around the composition of the trash heap occasionally.

Until you invent telepathy, you will never be able to know who those vanishingly few people where recieving useless junk would remind them of something are

It feels like you're assuming a traditional marketing approach to "blasting" messages and hoping they stick. That's how most marketing tools work, but it's not how all marketing tools work, and I think it's a mistake to treat an implementation flaw as an indicator that a technology isn't actually desirable. It's not desirable in its current form. That doesn't mean it has to stay that way.
