I'm surprised Googles ad business stays afloat. It seems every video I watch on YouTube is preceded with a Grammarly advert, a service I have no use for and will not subscribe to/pay for in the future.

I feel like Google should be the one company that has enough data and the widespread scope to really excel in advertising, yet on every site I see their ads, its as if they have no idea who I am and what I might want.

Feels like a bubble to me..

As someone who worked in advertising...advertising isn't really about connecting you with things that you want. It's about putting something in your head to make you want it.
