That's called contextual targeting: " If iOS 14 users opt out, they will still be shown ads, but they’ll be based on other methods like contextual targeting rather than based on their IDFA. " https://clearcode.cc/blog/apple-idfa/#apple-skadnetwork

That works so poorly Facebook doesn't even bid on showing ads for those users currently: " And Facebook doesn’t even bid on iOS users that have Limit Ad Tracking (LAT) enabled " https://www.adexchanger.com/data-exchanges/what-do-apples-pr...

Does it work too poorly on its own, or too poorly compared to tracking ads? Perhaps their value will go up with less presence of the latter.

The issue is not effectiveness as much as measurement. Advertisers value the insight obtained by tracking user response to ads. That is something they are willing to pay premium for. Without the ability to do measurements, Facebook does not provide as much value.

Ad with id X was shown, Ad with id X was clicked, Ad with id X led to a purchase. Is it that important to know more than that?
