    Serious question: Why can you handle the ads? I’m serious. Why do you accept that something you have purchased, something you own, should be pushing ads at you? Broadcast services makes some sense, they have to make money somewhere. But something you bought? Why?

      not op but people generally get desensitized to ads because they are everywhere.

      corporations then sneak it in for an extra buck because they can.

        Not just about delivering ads but also to track your browsing history across different sites and devices. This is why their installing flock camera alprs to capture your device signal and correlate it with things like Bluetooth headphones, smart watch, even your tire pressure monitoring system. Basically anything with RF signals.

        Its called ELSAG Signal Trace and their everywhere now for use by law enforcement.

        Here’s some more info on it
