> The only good customer is one that willingly opts into all ads I guess.

There's indeed some truth to that as well in the sense that the customer is the one who wants the ad to be displayed in the first place and pays for it. So it's a form of opt in as well.

That being said, the user who sees the ads is not the customer but the product. And yes, the best sellable product (i.e. user) for Meta (Facebook, Instagram etc), Alphabet (Google etc) and the like is the one that willingly opts into all ads.
