except that ads seem more poorly targeted than what they once were

I see webmaster related and google adwords/chorme ads everywhere I go, even on completely non webmaster related sites. My spouse thinks its silly to see these ads when using my computer too.

Try turning images off and opting out of placement targeting, at least then you'll show a little better targeting, but just a little. Adsense is now the definition of non-contextual contextual advertising.
