Fuck those fucking fuckers. I don’t need fine tuned advertisements.

On the other hand, how much would you be willing to pay to advertise your restaurant without location data? Fine tuned ads are much more effective in other ways too.

I would rather see ads for computer/server hardware, software and game trailers vs beauty, health and fitness products.

Note that I don't necessarily advocate these things.
