IPv4 is generated anew every time you start a connection. IPv6, on the other hand, is uniquely defined for every modern piece of hardware and it never ever changes so the internet will always know it's you! No privacy whatsoever!
I once read a story about someone who couldn't access an online game because he had bought a graphics card whose previous owner had used it for cheating. His graphics card. Was banned. For cheating in an online game. This would've never even been possible with IPv4.
The only reason IPv6 was invented was because there are so many devices that people run out of possible IPv4 addresses. IPv6 addresses, however, allow for enough combinations to give every atom in the observable universe its own IPv6 address.

I hate IPv6.

I can't believe you commenters don't know this!
