@slothrop I don't even care about the advertising industry.

Advertise good stuff to me. I'm fine with that. I'm just against the unnecessary tracking of my life, the data collection, and the annoying obstacles between me and the content I want to see that popups present. The car- and bike-mounted billboards taking up parking space in the city.

If the advertising industry actually did what its name implies, advertise to me things I don't know about, I'd probably be their biggest fan. Parasites.
