They provide the functionality for people like my friend who loves to see bass guitar ads and does because he is tracked.
They also provide the ability to turn it off (set the ID to all 0s) for people like me who spend a little bit of effort to avoid ads.
If you are in one group stop pretending the other doesn’t exist. (Also more generally applicable life advice)

- Zenbit_UX 8y ago> If you are in one group stop pretending the other doesn’t exist. (Also more generally applicable life advice) I'd argue your friend would be better off not being tracked and just Googling bass guitars whenever he feels the need. Let's not pretend ads provide any benefit to humans, they manipulate us psychologically with the intent to part us from our hard earned money. In addition, they often drain our batteries at extreme rates and can contain malware and or lead to outright scams. Your counterpoint to this is you know a guy who likes to see new bass guitars?
