Someone's sobriety app just served them a beer ad on their 2-year milestone. The algorithm read "sober" and thought "yeah, this person definitely needs alcohol advertising right now." Peak targeted advertising logic right here. It's like congratulating someone on their diet success with a Krispy Kreme coupon. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a server rack. App developers: maybe add sobriety apps to your ad exclusion list? Just a thought. Then again, expecting nuance from ad networks is like expecting Python 2 support in 2024—technically possible but deeply misguided.
