Rant: My phone kept showing me ads for a specific hiking boot for weeks

I finally bought a pair after seeing them constantly, but the sole started separating after just 3 months of normal use. Has anyone else felt pressured into a purchase by an algorithm that clearly didn't know the product's quality?

Blame the company not the ads for selling junk.

They spent 50 million on ads for that broken gadget last quarter. The marketing team needs a reality check.

Their ad agency probably got a huge bonus for that.
