Precisely Targeted Ads Meet Adblocker

it's wild that virtually all modern digital infrastructure is built to constantly spy on us and harvest our data for advertising yet online advertising is still basically worthless and nobody seems to actually be benefitting from all this a vast rube goldberg machine of privacy violations all working together to deliver the most precisely targeted ads straight into my adblocker

It is used as a sarcastic reaction to ad-tech surveillance and internet irony.
