    I really must voice that while yes I am concerned with all the data collection, it must be pretty weak sauce as I rarely see an advertisement that actually resonates with me. It is like they have no idea who I am which I find some utterly baffling given all the data they have. Something is missing in the story. I half suspect the data is not accurate and not of high integrity. Still a concern for sure.

      Google has no idea what I am, or what I want. I get into so many random internet debates, that the last time I checked it thought I was the wrong gender, living in a different state, with a completely off the mark profession, and only a handful of the hobbies it though I had were relevant. And those were vague things like “outdoors” or “sports.”

      You can certainly mask yourself quite proficiently, but that isn’t the norm. Most people are extremely easy to pin down.
