I dont agree with so much advertising on the internet. And i dont mean the tracking, i mean the amount of it, it's just unacceptable that there need to be so many ads in a page in order for a website to survive. Tracking ... i m not sure why it should bother me, as long as there are legal protections so it doesnt cross lines that are considered unethical (such as pregnancy or sex orientation). GDPR says nothing about it, it just blanket bans it. Google has only gotten mightier and greedier post-GDRP. So whatever defense is mounted on GDPR, the empirical fact is that it failed in its purpose. It was a missed opportunity. It could truly hurt google if (a) it declared private information as private property that can be sold in exchange for services or if (b) it provisioned a "PI" tax that should be mandatorily paid back to users similar to the link tax required to be paid to newspapers.

GDPR is not about advertising, so you can put a billion ads if you want just don't track me behind my back then share this data with 100+ companies so now they all know all y activity on the internet. GDPR should not dictate how you implement ads, if you want targeted ads then maybe the industry needs to implement them respectfully, the user would opt=in, connect his browser with FB,Google,Twitter and then he will get targeted stuff. They could make a browser, DRM-it to shit and if you use that browser you get less ads but all of them are targeted and ever click in that browser is tracked, it would be an opt-in stuff where you sell your browsing activity for ad-points that you can spend on different websites to read articles. We need strong laws because the industry is fucking the users, they sell you products like a TV or an OS but they still want to make a few more cents so they continue to track you and sell your data to advertisers. IMO advertising is mostly manipulation, make people buy expensive diamonds or expensive clothing or phones when they don't have too, I would be curious if we could create a economy simulator and ban all advertising like it was done for cigarettes and see what happens.
