> Facebook actually has relevant ads to local events (some of which I am even interested in). As opposed to Google which is trying to drive my purchasing behavior. or Twitter which is borderline useless

i wonder, has Google ever tried showing ads that were irrelevent to your current search query, but still relevant to your purchaser profile?

that way they could surface relevant search results (keeping you coming back and showcasing their core business case), while _also_ appealing to your interests
