That most people claim that the invasion of privacy as the worst part of online advertising rings true to me too.
I don't mind ads. I detest the idea that people are profiling me.
Retargeted ads, where I've just been searching for a flight on one site and then I visit a completely different site that has an ad for flights to and from my chosen destination, drive me to deliberately avoid that company in the future if I can help it. I find it completely disturbing.
Profiling is what makes me primarily use an ad blocker.
- Matheus28 11y agoWhat if you end up finding the cheapest price from one of these ads? Was there a downside for anyone in this?
- mondoshawan 11y agoAbsolutely there is; he's being profiled without consent.
- junto 11y agoThe profiling vastly outweighs the cheaper price (like 99 to 1). I'll find that myself thanks.
