More advertising...
We get bombarded with advertising all the time. Look at the amount of crap on this site ;o) Thing is that without it, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion here, so it's a necessary evil me thinks.
Even on the other sites you mention that are more active outside of a given arena, I'm afraid I still can't see the problem. So there's a company out there that's got a cookie on my machine that's logged my browser as looking at whole gamut of different sites, and has decided that RC heli's are my thing. Result, there's a whole bunch of sites that are now pushing heli' adverts at me. I'm still not bothered, and I would still rather see these then Mills and Boon novels.
Now the next guy comes along and he's seeing more then his fair share of heli' adverts and he would rather be reading Mills and Boon novels (takes all sorts), where's the privacy problem?
If anyone could figure out that me as an individual is looking at a lot of osteopathy adverts and was able to deduce that I (Mr T) had back-ache then that would be a breech of privacy, but if it means that mr anonymous sitting at this terminal gets advetising for cheap med's, then I still can't see the problem I'm afraid.
