So that means there’s no bearing on the advertising based on what you view because it’s wholly independent of you. Despite it’s been shown that they are collecting data of accounts you’re signed into for the service, ISP information, and even down to individual computer information that’s transmitted. Sure, uh huh, we’re done here…

What…?
OK, one more time.
Ad telemetry (largely anonymous data related to what kind of ad is displayed, for how long, is it clicked, is it skipped, etc) gives them information about the ad’s effectiveness. For example, if someone loads the website, a massive ad obscuring the entire content shows up, and they close the tab with the website without clicking the ad, they get information that such form of an ad is not only ineffective, it’s actually harmful to the website.
User data (absolutely 100% not anonymous, although the “identity” is often your browser, not you yourself - until, that is - they get extra identifiable information, such as Facebook cookies) gives them information about what content should be shown in the ad. For example, if you viewed sneakers on Amazon, you get sneaker ads. If you talked to someone about tampons on Facebook Messenger, you’ll get tampon ads.
Two completely different sets of information. If you’re incapable of grasping this difference, then yeah, we’re done here.
