On the other side, I love every time I see a Spanish ad (I know only elementary school and restaurant menu-level Spanish) because it means I'm seeing fewer badly targeted English ads just because I do sometimes love watching Spanish language content with English subtitles. Spanish ads seem frequently less toxic to me. It's a bit of useful misinformation I'm happy to feed the ad targeting algorithms because I want them to have garbage about me. They are garbage-in/garbage-out in general anyway, but the more garbage I intentionally feed them, the happier I feel, because I'm still somewhat in control.
I don't use an ad blocker, I'm okay with generic, untargeted ads. I do block a lot of advertising cookies and I am isolating them from each other in a cat and mouse game. Intentional misinformation is a fun part of that, too.
