They either have to do way more ads, or way more targeted ads. Would you prefer an endless stream of low-relevance ads, or a few high-relevance ones that required massive amounts of data mining to produce?

Definitely the former. Also the actual difference between "endless" and "few" is like 3 (by price)?

If all this additional surveillance, sorry "targeting", is that worthless why should we even consider allowing it?
