I find it insane how many people on this thread are accepting/defending the fact that advertising must be a persistent thing in our lives (including in inappropriate places such as personal communication tools) and that people must keep buying things (otherwise what would be the objective of said advertising?). If targeted advertising benefits the user, they will opt-in (GDPR doesn’t outright outlaw it, it just requires informed consent). If you are having an existential crisis about people having this choice then maybe it’s time to recognise that you’ve always been a parasite that didn’t actually provide any value to users?
