It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

    Often, when bringing up privacy, people say they are ok with some tracking because they’ll get more relevant ads

    But it’s so common to not be able to block products you don’t want, be it alcohol, meat products, dairy, gambling/casino games, podcasts from people you don’t want to hear from

    It’s not about getting more relevant ads, it’s about figuring out what they can best sell you. Sometimes that lines up with what you want, but you can get that benefit without targeted ads too

      PSA: You should really be using ad blockers, but if you’re not, Google lets you block certain types of ads in your account settings.
