    Reminds me of talking to a tech bro excited to give Google more information so his ads are more accurately targeted to him.

      If the ads actually targeted me with things I’d actually like, instead of trying to manipulate me, I’d probably care less. But they don’t, because shareholders want larger margins.

        True… Except there’s a big problem with that

        There’s not many things I would want that I’m not aware of

        So would they going to show me 2 ads a day, or would the same 4 things be plastered everywhere each week?

          You’re not wrong.

          I would also add to that list “things I didn’t know I wanted”, but that is hard to objectively differentiate from manipulation.
