Track my browsing history all you want

Unlike a lot of people, I'm not paranoid about my "privacy".

Nor am I, hell if they want my browsing history I'll read it off to them myself. But I think it's more a matter of principle.
They managed to stick ads in magazines, tv, movies, websites, my phone, bus stops, billboards, sides of buildings, phone books, my mail, my email, messenger, misdirects, on the side of the product I'm already purchasing

I think there comes a point where someone has to draw a line and leave some privacy and some space for a more important message than "50% off shoes" or cures for erectile dysfunction.

I don't care either unless it costs me money. I hate ads and rarely buy anything because of them. I just could care less about them.

Not to mention plane that drag signs up and down the coast to get the attention of beach-goers in the summer.

See now when I'd go down to OC MD, I wouldn't mind that really because it usually had something on it that was going on that night or whatever.

That was one of the lesser intrusions I've seen in marketing really.

One of things that both ISPs and marketers assert that irritates me is that my browsing history is their data. I don't really care if you pay for it or not because the ISP sold it to you, the data still comes from me, and I am not getting one red cent from it.

The ISP can go sell random data but when it has my information attatched to it, I think it's crap but unfortunately there isn't much you can do if you want service and they've put it in the TOS other than go find another ISP and more & more want to sell that data.

To me, that is one of the most annoying. Those damn prop planes are very noisy, and on sunny weekends in the summer they're going by every 15 minutes. I really hate having my day at the beach turn into a TV show with commercials.
