Yeah, but internet advertising fetishizes "personalization" and quantitative metrics, which are predicated on invasions of privacy. Advertisers could put those toys down, and go back to more traditional, privacy-preserving advertising, but I don't think they have the maturity and willpower to do so on their own.

How would they know what kind of ad to show if they don't know anything about you?

#6wow, give me something i very much don't want while taking away something i very much want. Sounds more like corporate rights than civil rights.

The same way it used to work: you show the same ads to almost everyone based on the content, not the people.
Not that I think advertisers will go for it.

That's considered "spray and pray" today. Today advertisers want data, data, data, and micro-targeting is everything. The entire advertising industry has become something akin to a private signals intelligence agency.

Today? For the past 20 years I've been hearing how data collection will enable advertisers to precisely target ads and that ads would go from being a nuisance to being useful.
It's not working very well. How much more data do they need to collect before it starts working?
