And one need have the other so I can't imagine what exactly it is you're talking about in the context of a reply to the statement "Ads are fine."

Ads targeted based on the content they are placed next to don't need to track anybody. While they might be annoying (i.e. take up space / time) they don't have any privacy concerns.
