You're conflating correctly targeted ads and useful information.

If you sell gambling ads to an addicted gambler, the gambler doesn't get useful information.

Niche interests might get a pass. But then again: if I’m getting an ad for a 3D printing product on a 3D printing review site, its very likely that the advertised product wasn’t actually the best and is just artificially pushed on me.
