  • "I don't see any problem with personalized advertising. I'd rather hear about stuff that's relevant to me!"
    • Price discrimination based on tracking is real. If you are the type who buys product A without shopping around much, a higher price for relevantly related product B is shown.
    • Tracking happens whether you are shopping or not (and there is a lot of tracking going on).
