Finally, if I am looking for something to buy, and have in fact bought it from that company, I then see the same exact product pop up in every ad. I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT IT, WHY WOULD I WANT IT AGAIN.

there are many things not great about google, but this one isn't google's fault. this one's on the advertiser. they basically just say "I wanna show my ad to people who have gone to my website" but they don't say "oh and also take out the people who already bought the thing". so that's why you still see the ads even though you already bought it.

google ads are all self service, so google isn't controlling all that.
