Have been using it for years and really like it

Doesn’t that mean even more agents will know what websites you visit?

Yes and no since it’s gonna be data pollution

Definitely sends false info as to what kind of products you might like to buy, and maybe what kind of products are worth advertising on the sites you visit, but personally I’d rather send the message “I’m not at all interested, ignore me”

That doesn’t make much sense for me,cause modern ads on website for it’s literally information violence and that so make ads idea useless for marketers

Big misunderstanding of how ads work.

Ad broker gets money cause you clicked.

Data broker knows the website you were on that the ad was served on.
