Oh, no! This means I might still get relevant ads that relate to my unique interests as an individual instead of some least common denominator cookie cutter garbage ad.

Personally, I prefer my ads to be as unrelated as possible to my unique interests. That way I can ignore the unwanted distraction more easily, or even be amused by it.

Every time I see an ad that relates to my current unique interests I feel spied upon and concerned that my private life is leaking without my knowledge or control.

I personally love having my personal information taken without my permission, by code running on my device and wasting my battery, so that some company can show me ads I’m never going to click on.
This post is staggeringly under-informed. Just wait until you google for some ailment and your life insurance premium magically goes up.
