I have made a very concerted effort to block all ads from my network. I don't want to see them, but more importantly, I don't want their scripts, cookies, and crud on my network. This is my data created by my labor. Now my labor is mostly clickety, click, click, but it's still mine and I reserve the right to do with my data as I see fit. I have a huge problem with corporations using my data to bolster the potential profits to their investors and themselves, while not giving me due compensation . Corporations buy out other corporations, not necessarily to bring their products into the purchaser's catalog, but to get eyeballs on their stolen data.

And that’s why I hate ads and advertisers.
Start teaching people to ignore ads. I know I do, and it's something my parents taught me when I was younger.
It won't help with data collection, but it will make it a lot harder for these assholes to put the pieces together.
How about teaching them to install Adblockers?
