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.

Because they go with mass corporate surveillance. As soon as a company starts personalizing ads with some data, they’re going to be under financial pressure to personalize ads with all the data they can get.
