I know I'm in the minority, but I don't mind _useful_ ads. I'm more worried about tracking everything, but I know that's how the ad industry work at the moment. So this new topics stuff seems kinda okay to me.
Quality ads have their place IMO, but this current non-sense that spam the user with as many ads as we can, even if they are irrelevant and hope that something sticks is just annoying.
But there are a few times when I bought some useful stuff to me which I found in an ad.
- causi 3y agoI'm in the exact opposite camp. As long as I don't see it and it doesn't impact my life or my convenience in any way, I don't care one whit what Google does or does not know about me, but I refuse to waste a single moment of my time and attention on advertising.
- lacrimacida 3y agoI block ads because I don’t want them in my life but I am aware that for some type of content I would need to pay somehow and ads were the currency… In my case when blocking will stop working I will simply stop consuming, get more offline time and so on but to a lot of people that is not an option.
- jraph 3y agoThis new feature is also tracking, so you might want to worry about it too. You might see it as a good compromise, but I don't think it is. First, I'm not interested in compromising a bit of privacy for ads. Second, ads are meant to push consumption, and we really need less of this in the world right now.
