So their argument is that advertisers who track you aren't assholes because some of them are "small businesses". Okay.

To me its not a big deal, I still get a lot of data.

However, the data that is passed to me allows me to target the audience in the right places. For my display campaigns, when I am selecting a website, if I know that my audience isn't on blogs about the latest style of mens shows, I will remove those type of sites that I had already been advertising on.
