      Also in rotation are a bunch of ads for the Galaxy Note 10. I recently tweeted about preordering an iPhone 11.

        Your weekly reminder that targeted ads are basically useless outside of extremely broad categories (like “is in NYC”), and that all the data collection means nothing.

          There’s a reason the New York Times took its international web site back to directly-sold static advertisements. It also makes more money for them now.
