I enable it on purpose. I like having more relevant ads, why would I want them to show me crappy untargeted ads instead?

What happened to the days when you could be asked about your interests and you would get ads based on that, rather than voyeuristically watching your every move to predict what your next fix will be?
My attitude here is that they are welcome to target me based on the data I submitted to facebook directly and my interactions with facebook's website. Are the things I Like and the people I interact with really insufficient to create a profile for me? What I do on websites that are not facebook is none of facebook's concern, which is why I have been taking care to block those 'like' buttons that snoop on you all over the net.
