"ensure that the people who are seeing the ads are the right target audience"

I have used the web for 27 years and have seen exactly 1 targeted ad that I wanted to see but countless millions of unwanted ads. Algorithms cannot find suitable ads if they select among those being paid and not among those one might want to see.
