...or is it just me? I've been surfing around on YouTube for the last hour or so watching classic rock videos, and suddenly an ad pops up--for Pampers (diapers). I know that some of my personal info is floating around for internet advertisers to use as I get ads targeted for supporters of the soccer team I follow, and for Canon camera owners. But I'm way out of the demographic of likely recent baby breeders.
Last summer, I was looking at buying the Adobe CS6 suite, and after a couple weeks of thinking about it, I finally took the plunge. But I still get ads served to me touting CS6 even though I've owned it since last August. That doesn't seem very smart, does it?
I guess someone made money by serving up a Pampers ad to me, so maybe I shouldn't complain as it appears that capitalism is functioning as it should (kinda)... but I get the feeling that the whole internet advertising model is less than half-baked.
Would anyone like to confirm my thesis, or shoot it down?
