    This comment got to me really late, probably to Lemmy’s distributed nature.

    But I still want to add: of course business will make more money if you allow more practices, but selling personal data just has too many negative consequences.

    Also low quality advertising? You mean like billboards and in the newspaper? You mean regular advertising?

      I mean “[local town] grandma discovers 10 foods you never knew you should avoid” or even downright scams when I say low quality advertising

      Also “negative consequences” is a bit overdramatic and I’d love you to elaborate… Really it’s down to the person’s own opinion, eg you don’t like it so you’ll reject that sort of thing, meanwhile I don’t mind it especially as a way of paying for decent quality media so I’ll allow it on some sites but not others
