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.

For me, the answer is tracking. Random ads are annoying, too, but they don't invade my privacy. Personalized ads require the ad network to build a profile of my browsing habits which is something I prefer to have the ability to not grant my consent to.
