   would you appreciate the convenience of being targeted exactly the right ads for things you wanted and needed, if a marketing agency had the capability to read and accurately interpret your innermost thoughts at any point in time?

   nevermind the fact that it's science fiction, would you find that convenient or like, deeply unsettling?

   If it was opt-in, would you opt in? What if opt-in was leveraged as a way to get a lower price on your phone plan, car insurance, mortgage, credit interest, etc?

     @q66 but what if the adverton window were shifted so far to the right that not being shown ads were no longer even an imaginary option?

     @gnu2 Same, but hypothetically if this were the state of things, and it very well might be some day, what would that feel like
