True. The only personalized ads I ever receive are for products I literally just purchased.
I don’t know how there’s so much money in the ad space. It just seems like a huge waste.

Man, this makes me rethink my whole idea of online anonymity.
There’s a lot of reasons why requiring identity verification could be a good thing, but holy shit now I realize how quickly something like that could slip into authoritarianism.
I still think we need a identity verification service for things like online games and social media (to thwart ban evasion), but it has to be something decentralized.
This makes a lot of sense. Essentially this will only happen in a bar that has bad bartenders that can’t do their job very well.
If the bars don’t want it happening, they need to have better service.
Unfortunately, a majority of the population like the ad based free service model, so here we are.
