Majority of society:

  • "I don't see a problem"
  • "I don't care, it's not like my data is that valuable"
  • "But I actually like these targeted ads! I find so much good stuff this way!"

I can give you another one from my wife:

"I need to watch ads to get rewards or get lives for [whatever game she's playing on her phone]."

To be fair targeted ads based on what I like I don't find as a problem as long as they are not intrusive and very in your face! But due to how bad most ads are I don't see even those as I always have adblock on!

Your the problem.

I enjoy manipulating the advertising targeting algorithm to give me advertisements for industrial machinery, cloud computing, surveys, targeted advertisements, and other things I am not remotely in the market for.
