You are litterally defending nazis in another thread. Never seen people take offense with what you're quoting except your kind of people.

1. Ads influence how you think about products

2. Cambridge analytica manipulating facebook users via ads, influencing elections

3. By saying you don't care about your privacy, you're willingly ignoring any downsides. You're saying that you, or a close one, will never do anything your government might disagree with, even in the future. Governments change, people can be in charge you never thought should be, and some people might not like what you do, whatever that could be. (I'm having a hard time explaining this one, words don't come easily rn, see edward snowden "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide, is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.")

4. By contributing your data, you're helping other, less "fun" countries discriminate against people. It's really easy to guess using algorithms if someone is gay, had premarital sex, etc. And some people don't like some others based on that, and would rather they were dead.

You can, on firefox at least. No add ons required it's a browser feature.

Cookies fall short just the same as sessions. you're asking the user to pinkie promise they won't clear their cookies / modify them.

An account seems the most logical. You need to avoid duplicates ; it's not really about privacy here. You'll only make a tradeoff between accomplishing no duplicates and letting users do what they want.

Cookies are really inappropriate for this use..

"Remindme" type bots are a band aid fix. Can you imagine if instead, the app/website/service provided that ? I shouldn't have to see what you save now should I.

For the second point, mostly because nobody made an app that combined the two well and/or was popular. The "simple calendar" app let's you create events AND tasks. I honestly don't even get what you're trying to get at with your second point.

The "discord" analogy cannot explain well the accounts on different servers part. I'll agree that the "email" one can't really explain communities on lemmy etc.

I frogged up 😩
