That's very surprising to me, why would you care what ads you get if it means mortgaging your privacy? If we grant that ads are a given, just give me whatever bullshit you want, I won't click on any of them and I'm ignoring them either way.


Because bullshit untargeted ads aren't worth much. There's no point in accepting worthless ads that don't adequately fund the sites that serve them.


But if you are ignoring them anyway, won't the add value remain at 0?


Sure, if you think all advertising never works on anyone.
