I don’t want ads that remind me that I’m being tracked online and my estimated persona becomes more detailed with every link I click. I don’t want the track-and-profile phenomenon to exist at all. It’s a horrorshow.
- ttjjtt 6y agoThe practicalities are bad too. I get incessantly, monotonously followed by bad versions of what I’m interested in, which I cannot shake off. It’s a galling imposition not only to be shown that I am being tracked , but that the narrow cluster of products I am bombarded with are bad, ugly versions of the things I particularly like. I dislike them more intensely than products I have no interest in. It’s an unusual flavor of a mild dystopia. Very affirming to read that Dutch non-tracking ads seem to yield more value (wired mag link elsewhere in thread)
