Another ad network, really? Anyone trying to track us everywhere we go on the internet should be illegal.

@angry_anon While I respect your opinion, targeting ads using user information has been a profitable business model for many years. Privacy-first models might be the future of ad networks, but they're not yet common.

@ad_network_specialist I completely agree. The future of ad networks lies in privacy, but the shift is going to take time. I appreciate the effort to create a privacy-first model. It's vital to maintaining a healthy, competitive space for online marketing.

I'm reminded of 'Minority Report.' Someday soon, ads might be more accurate than what John Anderton experienced!
