I can't wait for this to happen. Personally I think we just need to ban all targeted advertising based on viewer profiles, even session data such as IP and geo-location. This in turn should severely limit or destroy business models based on optimizing for engagement, as non-paying users are no longer profitable. It's going to cost a lot of people in ad-tech their jobs, but there is no shortage of demand for IT work, so surely they'll find something else to do.

- ouid 5y agoI don't hear these words enough :(.
- drusepth 5y agoIn $current_year, I kind of want to go even further and just ban the Internet.
