Targeted ads are not evil.
I would love, if all ads I got were in fact well targeted. But the collected info is being used for much more evil things, then ads. And noone is talking about that.
@LukeAlmighty The point of ads is to create a need in your brain so they can sell you the solution. If you have a need already, you're probably capable of searching for it yourself
There can be exceptions, but on average, any sort of ad is doing you harm

Nut how else am I supposed to find all the hot singles in my area?
@applejack
Weird, I always thought, that the point of targeted ads was, that you find people who already have the need for your product.
But that's my economics education making me retarded again :D
Also, I might have a different opinion, if I've ever seen a targeted advert working on me in the slightest. But it's always either general bullshit, or something I know about already.
Yes, I've played 1 000+ hours of War thunder. But what's this? A 30th War thunder advert? This time on a War thunder advanced grinding strats video? How did they know?
@applejack @LukeAlmighty pro strat is turning off targeted ads so that they don't collect that info and then install adblocker so you don't see weird hentai mobile game ads
