I hate to be one of those "you lost me at the second paragraph" kind of guys, but....you lost me at the second paragraph:
> stuff that's pushed to you via targeted ads costs an average of 10 percent more,

The BBB is pay for play organization whose ratings mean little more than "they paid their membership dues" or "they responded to complaints quickly". You can get a million complaints, but if you reply quickly to consumers you keep your A+ rating. You can also get zero complaints but cancel your BBB membership and Ohhhhhh what a shame you've got an F rating.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoThe rest of the article is way better, and not really about this.
- bdowling 4y agoThe author seems to have referenced BBB as a generic for a firm that rates businesses (ala using Kleenex for tissues or Xerox for photocopies). It’s unfortunate that the most well-known firm of that type is a pay to play scam.
