I read the title of this post as a cliffhanger, promising a shocking ending, but it doesn't really do it for me. I'd rather have them show me relevant ads than random ones, personally. I opted out for a while but found opting in to be the better experience for me. To each their own, I guess.
I wonder how much of that is due to a simple misinterpretation of some of the sites you visit. For example, if the fairly recent article on Google's "beatbox" (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1952356) and my subsequent searches led to my purported interest in "Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Urban & Hip-Hop - Rap & Hip-Hop".
