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.

I don't like companies collecting hundreds or thousands of data points on me.

It's not just advertising, but trashy and addictive suggested content and potential for abuse by actors like Cambridge Analytica.
