Haha yeah, this is me and I am indeed ridiculous. :D
I try my hardest not to use Google products because I don't like tracking. Occasionally though I'm forced to use things like YouTube as it's the only source for certain information.
I turn off the personalised ads not because I think it stops them tracking me but because of the vague hope that if I still see the ads and they don't need to be personalised then just maybe Google would see the subservience as an unnecessary overhead.
...which is still just wishful thinking on my part.
For the record I would happily accept personalised adverts based on context if they would just packing in the forced tracking.
