    That’s what I always say. Targeted advertising should be illegal. Contextual advertising is acceptable.

    If I’m on the star trek wiki, serve me ads for star trek, sci-fi, and whatever. You don’t need to know anything about me specifically.

    We’d still need to do something about like ads that take up too much space, hurt page performance, or introduce malware, but removing the stalking would be an improvement

      Right, and something like Reddit makes targeted advertising SUPER easy, with zero personal information.

      Want to know what kind of products I might be interested in? Literally just ask.
