> they have noting to do with anything I care about

Why is this good? For me personally, both FB and Google figured out that I'm into home renovation and all they keep recommending me is relevant stuff. So I consider it free research done for me :) Contractors, webshops, pretty images are all over my feed.

I even press accept cookies for webshops I want to see more of their competition :)

Eh. I don't really want to be sold to even if the thing I'm being sold might be interesting to me. I don't need more stuff and I really don't need my brain thinking I need more stuff. To each their own.

Saving money instead of being manipulated to buy something I otherwise wouldn't is good for me and the environment.
