> Whenever I see people talking about their IP geolocation being wrong, I will reach out to them and try to fix that issue. Even if it is just one person, it really means a lot to them and to us as well.
My IP geolocation is constantly wrong (I'm using TMobile home internet). It constantly says I'm in Detroit, or Chicago, or somewhere else potentially hours from where I live. I assume T-mobile is randomizing IP address allocation at everyone routed through some giant midwestern datacenter, and Detroit/Chicago simply have the most people, but I don't know and I don't care.
But I like it that way! I don't want random website owners to know exactly where I am. I've disabled location, camera, microphone, and notification requests in my Firefox settings, blocked popups, and installed an ad-blocker. I don't understand why anyone would do any of those things differently. I do prefer some location over global randomness that might not get the language or country right, and it's slightly annoying to constantly have to set the target store when shopping at, say, Menards, REI, or Napa Auto (even though I've been automatically logged in with the same shipping address for a decade, new visits to the pages default to location-based "my store" even when that data is unavailable)... but overall, I'd rather have a level of granularity that merely tells you I'm somewhere in the continental 48 US states.
Why does getting geolocation right mean a lot to you? Why should it mean a lot to me?
