    This is the answer. Clarity and frugality. It doesn’t matter that they can make accurate predictions of your interests if you simply never click.

      The expression “a fool and his money will soon be parted” or a variation of that was first published in 1573.

      “A foole & his money, be soone at debate: which after with sorow, repents him to late.”

      If you cant go on facebook without buying some T-shirt for $40 because some targeted add knows you’re all about Pickle Rick right now. The problem isnt targeted advertisement.
