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.

People often don't like being surveilled relentlessly. Without personalized advertising, the market for all that personal info is significantly reduced, though eg insurers probably still want it.
