10-15 years ago:

Me: Buys a gaming PC

Ads: Here's a local pizza delivery service. Want to order?

Fine, somewhat related at least.

Today:

Me: Buys a gaming PC

Ads: what about this gaming PC? Or that one? Maybe this upgrade kit (worse specs than what I bought) is interesting? Like this PSU/CPU/RAM/graphics card/...? Hot gamer singles in your area want to...

Ah, fuck Off!

I once purchased floor mats for my specific car brand. Years ago. For months it tried selling me new floor mats for every brand of car in the world. I still occasionally get an email asking if I want floor mats for cars I've never owned. Like I'm the mat collector or some shit.

Implying they are selling products they know you are likely to be unsatisfied with.
