Again, the entire post is just axiomatic moral judgments with no information.



I’m curious what parts of the internet you visit that you do not see all the ads for scams, shock ads, and other malicious things. There’s a reason that “one weird trick, doctors hate it!” is a meme. It’s utterly rampant. If I open YouTube without an adblocker there’s often some kind of snake oil salesman that pops up. Or a cult.

Now, I use private browsing, so I get the “default” experience. Perhaps you don’t use private browsing and so your targeting is really honed in. Perhaps you only see sensible ads for sensible people, a sensible wallet or a sensible car. If that is the case then fine, but if the only way to use the internet is logged in to Google and with everything tracked, then that is unacceptable to me.


years of no ads on Safari. are we inventing problems now?
