    I wonder whether a less evil version of what Google tried to push would be a better solution to this.

    That is, a user might flag themselves - or let their browser suggest something then accept it, but this is all local - as “30-40y old, american, male, passing interest in programming, big into archery and horseback riding”, from a big list of possible interests basically. And then ad companies put ads into categories and that’s how they get selected.
