With no targeted advertising:
1) you will still get ads, it's just lowest common denominator teeth whitening and weight loss that anybody can buy.
2) it would be much harder to subsidize entertainment that relies on ads.
3) New and emerging businesses rely on ads much more than category leaders to be heard of. Worse ads means a more powerful incumbent advantage.

With constant surveillance: 1) individuals are incentivized to avoid expressing themselves in ways which their overseers dislike, especially if an expression draws punitive measures; 2) a particularly vulnerable person could be worried about being extorted with information that's discovered about them causing some pervasive increase in stress; 3) otherwise innocuous information about a person might indicate a Bad Thing which is only considered Bad well after the fact but might still be used against them in some social setting.
