I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook gets to access to data about who purchases what and when
I would sell all my transaction history for $5/month. Why should I care if their ads are getting better when I never pay attention to ads?
- joosters 13y agoI never pay attention to ads Just about everyone thinks this. But you're wrong. It's pretty much impossible not to be affected by advertising. Sure, you don't click on the links, but the product placement and brand awareness is not something that you can turn off!
- angersock 13y agoYou're not just selling your own transaction history, though--you are selling the other half of it as well. If I'm a private business or individual, I would prefer my customers not broadcast their affiliation--because some third-party source of data could be used to drive solicitation, or target advertising, or just in general be a nuisance. Remember, when you give up transaction history, you aren't just ratting on yourself--you're ratting on whomever you've done business with.
- guloizo 13y agoyou don't understand how ads work, do you ? educate yourself about neuromarketing and read this 1920's book by Freud's nephew Edward Bernays. Also you don't understand how profiling works, do you ? A visible effect is ads, but it's not the only one and there are invisible effects.
