New! From Google! "Enhanced" ad privacy! - midwest.social

Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch. “We changed our privacy settings to allow us to snoop on what you’re looking at and shove you ads accordingly. Feel free to opt out, but we’ll probably opt you back in when you aren’t paying attention.”

Many friends of mine are like saying why would i care i’d rather see ads that are relevant than ones that arent. Like dude i dont want ads at all and i dont want my data to be used to influence my buying behavior.

While this is an understandable desire my question is as follow:

If you don’t want ads, and don’t want to pay for every service, how’s all the internet system supposed to be sustainable on the long run? How should things be financed?

We already paid for the Internet though.

You pay for internet connection, not internet content.

Services don’t get a penny out of what you pay your ISP

Ok then hear me out. Let free content supported by ads die out. Make everything paid.

This is practically impossible because piracy is easy and convenient.

Ads emerged right because they are a simpler way of monetization
