Do you realize that you can have ads subsidizing free services without any tracking or using any third-party services?

Obviously, companies generally make more money with tracking, otherwise they wouldn't do it, and that means more investment in free services.

Those types of ads definitely exist, but make a lot less revenue, which in the end impacts free services.
