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.

If you are on your phone showing something to some person, and you get an ad for a new pressure cooking. Well, there it is a nice pressure cooking.

Now if you have been looking for something else that you want to keep private (gay clubs, abortion clinics, or anything embarrassing) then your phone has betrayed you.

There is also a point that if the ad is more useless, the quantity of ads should decrease because advertiser will not find them worth it.

Does not work as imagined by most, and is easily detected by sites. So basically just a convenient way to have your cookies and other site storage deleted. But (meanwhile) basically useless because of other ways of 'fingerprinting' client browsers.
