That's a really good point. I hadn't put it together that all browsers are now advertising companies

I think the closest we currently see, are video sponsorships on platforms like YouTube, where the creator just reads an advertisement for their audience. If you see the video you see the ad read it's not tailored at all. That is not individually targeted, but they're definitely choosing the show based on the demographics the show has.
