The banners are there because if you take away 90% of their revenue, they cease to exist. Imagine your salary reduced by 90% tomorrow unless you beg your boss daily for your full pay.
>If you think a human never sees your information, you're sadly ill informed
Are you under the impression ads are manually targeted? The only time someone at Google has ever laid eyes on your profile would be if somehow your profile bugged out and caused something to crash. And even if they did look at a single user's data, it would be meaningless without having the name attached. And even if the name was attached, it'd still be meaningless, because there's 300 million people in the US alone.
You have to strawman the absolutely perfect situation for it to even remotely matter.
I accept these conditions
It's just so irresponsible to take extremes like this, ignoring the amount of information and entertainment available on the internet.
Do you know how many people get access to my search data? One. But your news article is worth 100x. How many get access to my streaming preferences? One. But your news article needs to violate my privacy 100x more.
Your arguments are sound in an imaginary world where six seconds of attention is worth being followed around for years. No.
These banners start with "your privacy is important to us", but they omit the next part of the phrase, but we'd like you to allow our partners to invade it.
The banners are there because the process is so abusive they need your consent to make 90% more.
