I would rather get advertisements about tech toys than get advertisements about debeers diamonds.

I'm the opposite.

I spend 8+ hours a day in the tech world; if the "tech toy" is any good chances are I already know about it and/or have it.

If I absolutely have to see ads (which I don't - haven't seen online ads for years) the last thing I want is more tech. I'd rather see ads for stuff I don't actually know about.

If HN were supported by non-tracking ads, do you think you would be more likely to see an add for a tech toy or a diamond here?

I hope it would be ads about recent companies Y has helped start :)
