Agreed. Which is also why I would love to know the cost to "society" if we ban it? How much more are advertisers prepared to pay for effectively choosing which people to show ads to versus having to run a marketing campaign that then causes me to search or seek out their goods. I can see it either way - perhaps having vast costly adverts / PR pieces is ruining the media landscape - I mean how many column inches cover films, Tesla vs GM. Would we be better off as a society if we paid for journalism and just accepted there would be a banner ad at the top that only middle aged men with bad backs like me see?
