I don't know... I've seen some interesting products thanks to Facebook that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Life would be pretty boring if we all only bought what we need.

The question is more about the trade-off.

1. I see an ad for some really nice pens. COOL! 2. I go to a website that allows me to opt out of tracking but I'd have to opt out of their 300 affiliates one at a time. 3. The privacy policies that state: we do not honor do-not-track signals because we don't know if it was the user or a browser default.

For me: not worth the tradeoff.

That seems to imply that we need to buy stuff to create excitement in life. Is that what you meant?

No, but buying stuff makes me happy.

buying stuff makes me sad 15~30% of the time.

Neither feeling is invalid.
