  I always second guess this now. It’s a logical argument, but I’ve experienced this ad attack too.

  Someone close to me had a medical scare and the entire web flipped from “blah blah buy this crap” to “when I found out I had cancer…” I saw red. The entire family was hounded immediately and relentlessly.

  They had a huge helping of privacy education after that. Browser plugins, privacy tips, and I built a Pihole for their network.

  There are no ethics in online advertising. Once you are categorized as a premium marketability consumer (life events like health, pregnancy, and I suppose alcohol/sobriety now) the web turns on you and your close associates.

  That year 4 families joined the online privacy and Adblockers forever club.
