> tracking doesn't seem to negatively impact my quality of life at all Like a frog boiling in hot water, just because you don't perceive it, doesn't mean it doesn't affect you. The business model of ad-based services is that they sell the ability to manipulate real world behavior to the highest bidder. That manipulation ranges from innocuous ads for products you don't need, to political ideas and misinformation. There's a chance that you're self aware, self disciplined and very observant and manage to avoid this manipulation. But given the fact that it works extremely well at scale, it's more likely that you're just not noticing how you're being manipulated.
