Spyware and adware 10 years ago were considered extremely shady and unacceptable and certainly not in the mainstream like now with Google and Facebook.
Who would have thought then it would take these shady practices a mere 5 years to transition into the mainstream.
Advertising via textual context and immediate location is ok. Everything else is a dark pattern and incentivizes uncontrolled surveillance, profiling and data hoarding and should automatically be disallowed in a civilized society.
