Apple and Amazon both seem to ignore you if you don't do business with them. If they sell you things, they obviously keep track of that. Amazon's ads are really intrusive and give away my Amazon search history. Facebook and Google doxx you in order to exploit your weaknesses. It's each of our choice how to interpret that and respond to it, whether with "who cares" or "that's terrifying" or "bury gold" or whatever. But it's important to recognize that, at the core, this mandatory tracking question is curtailing the business of an entire category of startup that we've mostly forgotten. DoubleClick. I didn't understand that DoubleClick would lead to this nightmare of being stalked by hawkers. I do not like where we have ended up. May their business chip and shatter.
