I know what you mean but I can't help but imagine a 60 year old man pointing at the camera and saying, "Get back to work, Steve."
Now that's targeted advertising!
I can think of something even more evil. What if ad networks allowed the advertiser to SUBSCRIBE to events generated by the ad viewer. For example, XYZ Toothpaste Inc gets a web hook that Targeted Consumer 123 has just started streaming TV Show "Foobar".
It's not quite what you're describing, but look up demand side platforms. At scale, advertisers are given the opportunity to bid on real time events.
It's funny reading offhand remarks like this because I laugh and then remember I'm well past 60
Should employers advertise how good it is to work, to their own demographic?

FTFY
Terrestrial cable is the same, too. I had a normal cable package for awhile (around 2020) and the advertisers clearly knew that my wife was in a particular medical category.
Same w/ IPTV services like SlingTV, which I also used for a little while.
