There are a bunch of things, lets see whether I can summarize them:
(1) I dont want to be advertised to at all, if I want something - I will go looking.
(2) I dont want my browsing habits in the hands of third parties, they should be between me, the browser and the remote server. Its creepy.
(3) Targeted advertising doesn't work - having crossed the rubicon, invaded my privacy, tracked my habits and carefully curated the extensive data they have collected on me - they then advertise something to me that is almost, but not quite, exactly unlike anything I need or want to buy.
(BTW, 90% of the 'targeted' advertising isn't targeted at all, because limiting the number of people who see my ad based on my guess at their needs and preferences is just dumb. Its WAY better to advertise to everyone and let them sort it all out.)
