What about a social media service recommending you advertisements solely based off of analytics derived from your actions on that website?

I don't have objections to that, similar to how I don't have objections to a search engine showing me ads solely based on what I've typed in to the search engine.
Indeed, I really feel that Google and Facebook turned "evil" (whatever that means) when the huge amount of customer data available to them from their own sites was no longer enough, but they demanded on vacuuming up your actions on every single corner of the Internet to add to their already gargantuan piles of dough.
