Couldn't agree more. And even thought I hardly play games anymore, that actually makes them all the more special when I'm excited about a game and play it.

All that means is that they're tracking everything about you to figure out what ads would work on you. They share your data between companies to build a profile on you.
I used to think the same as you but after enough time I just got completely fed up with everyone constantly trying to sell me things.

You can't just scroll past those and mind your business.
