What’s your take on his points? I wholeheartedly disagree with him but I don’t know how to properly voice why. I wanna hear what you guys have to say.
Profiling and tracking do not - I repeat - do not serve your convenience. Showing you ads that you are likely interested in means a higher chance to sell you things you don’t want. Mixing in private messages etc and feed it into an LLM will result in extremely targeted advertising with highly convincing content.

Yeah people like him are the reason we are where we are with this dystopian internet.
Even the positive result in your first point I am skeptical of. Advertisements have a huge selection bias on what they show you. Even if it’s the topic you want, I’d be concerned about correctness, reasonability, viability. The highest bidder shows me ads, does that mean it’s the most expensive option? Most wasteful? Most manipulative into other spending or into vendor or thinking lock-in?
Thanks for putting it so well. I’d give you reddit gold but I only have this rock: 🪨 Maybe it’ll comes in handy one day!
PS: Consumerism also drives climate change and the potential genocide of many or even all people of earth.

Boot licker.
I’m just glad I checked the comments here before wasting even one second watching the video.
That isn’t unpopular opinion unfortunately. Otherwise the world wouldn’t the way that it is right now. We live in a surveillance apparatus that shapes our behavior. Nobody really cares except for the fringes of society.
If you poll people if they care about their privacy of course they will say yes. That is a rather superficial question. When you start polling in meaningful manner such as the uses of personal data the more the opinions become mixed. Some people really do think tracking and ads can provide them useful services. Such a rapacious form of capitalism is the prevailing mode of our time.
I think to some people the concepts of behavioral modification is too sci-fi to be believable. The topic sounds too much like ramblings of a conspiracy nutter about mind control. For others probably they think they’re smarter than psychological conditioning.
This has to be ragebait, absolutely ridiculous
was my thought too. clickbait and ragebait
