Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don't know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Do you have money? If so, knowing all your secrets and quirks is a good way to get a dollar off of you for slightly less than a dollar.

Pennies on the dollar, you mean.

No, that would be a massive get-rich-quick style return the way I wrote that. Pennies below a dollar, per annum, in order to get a dollar back as the beneficiary, on average.

It would be tiny fractions of a penny per dollar if you just look at the individual action that causes a purchase, but either it's the accumulated effect of a lot of actions over time, or it's a gamble that doesn't work the vast majority of the time, so you're back to the standard ROI everything has.

It's not just marked ads, by the way. A lot of the stuff that happens with that data is invisible, although I can't say how much exactly.
