Why do people hate personalized ads so much? I understand hating ads in general, but why something personalized is worse than just random spam?

EDIT ---

Ok, I get it now. Personalized ads = surveillance. Fair enough.

Doesn't the whole GDPR already cover it though? You can opt out of the surveillance.

what people object to is the data gathering needed for personalized ads. I don't want all my behaviours and preferences to be collected, inferred and stored. If it can be used for personalized ads, it can be used for other even less desireable purposes.
