you will get as many ads as the typical user is able to bare no matter what.

  The underlying economics are unavoidable. Companies are not trying to 'do inherent evil' - they just want to show relevant ads. And by the way, consumers definitely appreciate the relevance. There is another side to the equation, and there are economic consequences to all of this that will come home to root. Personally, I loathe Facebook and don't use it for personal reasons, but I have a small business and it's the only advertising mechanism that works for us: we have a neat little product for a niche category. There are entire economies that can only exist with the ability to effectively get the word out, there is tremendous social good in this. We just have to figure out a way to do it that fits within reasonable privacy guidelines.
