And no one will ever give them permission. Why would you?

Good riddance then? Time to find a new business model and maybe fire some people if your service can no longer sustain that many employees, or let a leaner competitor eat your lunch.

I’ve seen people comment on here how they actually like personalized ads.

They like personalized ads because they work for ad tech.

- not if it comes at the price of huge invasion of privacy

- Given the incredible amount of data they have, I'm constantly amazed at how bad FB/Amazon/others are at suggesting what I'm likely to be interested in

Thankfully, the GDPR still allows you to opt into personal-data-based targeted advertising if you want to.

If the “yes” button was easier to click than the “no” button 90% of people would.

Thankfully the GDPR mandates that the "accept" option can't be more prominent than the "decline" one.

The endless barrage of insipid GDPR cookie consent banners have corrected a weird English-language blind spot I had: it turns out that the opposite of "accept" is not "reject," but rather "customize settings" or "view preferences."

Those banners are illegal according to GDPR. Once there's a threat of a fine on the horizon all those "insipid banners" quickly change to show you a reject button https://noyb.eu/en/where-did-all-reject-buttons-come

I’d be happy to opt into anonymized personalized ads. Wasn’t that what Apple was pitching recently? Has that rolled out yet?
