I think so, though they might not always verbalize it that way.

Consider that without any sort of tracking, ads are almost necessarily ones that appeal to the lowest common denominator of the audience, because there's nothing else to go on.

Users hate irrelevant ads slightly more than they hate relevant ads -- much like how I hate being punched more than I hate being slapped.

I'd much rather avoid being in an abusive relationship to begin with: Hence, installing browsers like Brave and using search engines like DuckDuckGo -- where you can opt into breaches of privacy and advertising, rather than hoping for the slim chance of an opt-out at the benevolence of the site/ad company.

More than relevant ads?

doubt it.
