Good take
I wouldn't even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads
I'm not in the market for a new car. I don't need car ads.
But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I've been eyeing would be nice.
Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.
If ads were helpful they wouldn't be annoying
The website you’re on gives that information
They don’t need to track for that
Eg. Looking at car reviews, here’s a car ad. Watching the news? Here’s a gun ad
I feel like there's some social commentary here somewhere but it might just be a bit too subtle.
I don’t like cars
That’s cos you like boobies instead!
Sensible.
But that's not what they're for. They exist to influence you abd control you, not infirm you and help you collaborate.
