Tracking ads are collecting data on people without their explicit consent or knowledge. The trade in bulk personal data is a stain on the internet. I am quite content to block these sorts of adverts and I'm not worried by the site's loss of revenue. I am not responsible for their slimy choice in business model. Let's get back to context based adverts like DuckDuckGo use. There was no need for the internet to take this path - it only did so to rapidly monetise after the dot-com bust blew their VC funded rapid growth plans out of the water. |

No need, aside from the trillions of dollars of economic value it created and hundreds of thousands of previously impossible businesses it created.
