    Ads are designed to trigger a change in a person’s behavior in the target audience. If you are not the target audience or the ad is poorly calibrated it causes annoyance.

    Most advertizing offers very little ROI to the business. This is why online advertisers are so aggressive on how they measure “engagement”. Given that ad revenue is the the primary driver of online and TV, the industry massively overemphasizes their effectiveness. Most advertising campaigns are only marginally effective if at all.

    There is always an ad that will work on you but it’s not common. It’s likely less than 0.01% the massive amount of ads you are exposed to. But hey if you see 100 ads per day and one ad every 100 days works. It can be worth it to the company.
