Thank you adriancr, barkingcat and flangola7 for making the salient points about IPv6. When I've tried to make the same points over the years, it didn't work out well. I see there's a new topic today, someone "outraged" that Roku devices don't use IPv6. It's always like that, people who seem to want to heavily push IPv6 are so outraged. All that does is confirm my view of IPv6 is right.
That's a broad assumption, and I can assure you they will due to lower costs (no need to pay data broker if you already know target, no need for extra traffic, load, etc). Also due to better targetting you get better prices per ads served.
> just not a valid reason to abandon the benefits of IPv6
What are the benefits to allow each device its own address if I'm going to firewall them anyway?
> Please stop with this line of argument.
Why?, my concern is valid, all you've said so far is nobody cares. I disagree.
> If you’re really desperate to ensure that the ads shown to your daughter are based on your porn viewing habits, then just set up IPv6 NAT
That says a lot about yourself if you resort to this sort of snarky comments, I have no wish to continue this conversation.
Note: I said in another comment I have set up IPv6 NAT and it works great.
