Me: But just because they are clearly the problem, doesn’t mean we are not. We love Alexa and Siri and Google Assistant, and we love it when the product we need appears. Though in surveys most Americans say they don’t trust targeted ads, it sure feels like we’re just letting it happen and handing them our money.
