Personally, I block them. But the people running these programs think they can get all of us. They don't seem to understand that the harder they try the more they piss off people like me. Meaning I'll put in more effort to circumvent or poison their data, making them spend a disproportionate amount of money on people like me. At this point I don't they'll give up, so let's find out who can live the longest. The number of people on my side are growing
I'm with you, but my take is that advertainment only scales big, so we are mostly collateral noise to the designers who have to balance many different factors, the main one bieng that the market they have brainwashed is as a result, fickle, and insists on bieng entertained, with most of the work force in advertising also consuming the product in a world of always almost, never quite satiated quest for the something™ that will get them off the treadmill.
The very fact that anything imaginable is availible, anywhere, right now, up front, delivered ,only highlights the sameness of it all, where the tracking and fingerprinting results in people buying whatever they glanced at,casualy and inocently, but now own some glitzy cheap, likely broken facsimily, and are now under intense pressure to buy another one.
So advertainment gives it's reek of edgy mindless frustration to the whole world.
So ya, turn off scripts and storage, run some blockers, and remember to be nice to all the people actualy helping and doing things in the real world.
Sure but it's about pareto efficiency. How much do you capture? It's a percentage. But you have to spend infinite resources to get to 100%. They just see number go up...
