We need laws on how intrusive ads are allowed to be. Advertising is out of control. Personally, whenever I see an ad too many times, I make sure to avoid purchasing that item or anything from that company. You're trying too hard to sell me junk.

"how intrusive" ?

We need laws to ban any sort of tracking, profile generation, etc.

Bring back contextual ads. If I'm on a gaming website show me a gaming ad ffs.

True. Also we need to regulated the spaces that the ads can occupie. Or the possibility that "sky is a billboard" might happen becomes too high
