These threads turn into a competition to be the least tolerant of advertising, but I think it's excessive.

Everything about Google and the innovation of surveillance in advertising is horrible.

But when it's non personalized, people forget that their interests can easily be aligned with the advertiser's. It's information. We're adults and can treat it appropriately. It's good to know if X movie is coming out or X pizza place just opened. It doesn't mean we're stupid enough to take the claim about how great the product is literally. We can compartmentalize that part as biased.

I don't go on a first date and get hostile when the girl tries to say something good about herself.
