Most of them are conditioned and oblivious to what they are clicking.

Chrome and mobile Web pages in particular, go out of their way to make it necessary for the user to click the annoying messages to go away. The messages take up 30% of the screen quite regularly. Desktop mode is at least slightly better.

It's just creepy. If they were doing anything else, installing a literal stalking gadget in your own garage, selling virtually all your personal info, preferences, browsing and shopping history, being available to slimy marketing executives for hundreds of billions of dollars, selling access to information on the user, while saving that info on your own bloody phone??
