Hopefully, the beginning of the end for personalized advertising. Given a simple choice, I can't imagine anyone really preferring it.
I know US businesses think they can't live without it --- but history proves otherwise.
From a user perspective, personalized ads are abusive, exploitive and just kinda irritating and dumb.
Just because my browsing history shows I was looking to buy a new car months ago, why am I still being bombarded with car ads on unrelated web sites long after making a purchase?
It is wasting my time and bandwidth and the advertiser's money.
