I take poorly directed targeting advertisements as a performance indicator for how well my data privacy efforts are working. When the ad targeting has you dead to rights is when you need to worry.

To an extent, sure, but I think also a sign their analytics were never as good as they claimed.

For example, so far as I know my name is strongly gendered male, so why the boob surgery ads?

This. My wife and I can hardly buy each other surprise gifts because the targeted advertising gives us away every time.
