In terms of cost of an ad to earnings, and how well, even a targeted ad, can hold a viewer's attention. Have we just become numb to ads? Does targeted advertising actually yield better results?

this reminds me of many instances of undesireable policymaking where algorithms just connected state personell with agendas of politicians through the black box of social media... like a judge who got the thoughts of a politician on certain rulings which is illegal in nordic countries. like the message of "hey what if climate activists are obstructing capital ventures in law? can a judge try that?" is illegal for a politician to ask of a judge here, yet through social media it happened. she didn't see that politician's exact words but was bombarded by posts and probably ads that shaped the way she thought about her job as a juridical arbiter of lives. left uncorrelated in mainstream
