I don't get annoyed by them, but I like not being tracked as a point of principle. And for me, it's trivial to prevent that.
The few times I've not used my methods I've noticed some quite dodgy stuff, i.e. the native Guardian app presenting "recommended reading" lists that look like in-app core content written by the Guardian but actually are paid-placement adverts for external content (on sites that have an almost offensive amount of tracking).
All this means is that the few times I de-cloak, the web (and apps) appears to have gotten worse.
Once in a while I'll be debugging a website in some sandbox, and will not have any adblockers enabled. I don't understand how people tolerate an internet that looks like that... but then, I don't comprehend how people manage to watch American TV either, and that's similarly overloaded with adverts.

This thread is LOL
People actually get annoyed by re-targeting and content discover networks? And there was me thinking they were really effective.
