How about giving people a form for them to fill what kind of ads they want to see instead of spying on them to personalize ad
Because no one wants to see ads in general. Google does this with YouTube TV (which ad do you want to watch?) and the answer is always "neither" but that's not an option.
Partly because ads is the reason they have now for tracking you, but they hope to keep making money on your data long after you're dead.
None, thanks!
