The better way to frame the choice is 1) less intrusive data collection or 2) ads relevant to what you might actually be interested in.
Some people don't like simple remarketing, but I do. It's not so bad that Bonobos reminds me to buy pants from them every once and awhile... I like their pants ;)
And I'm not sure of the brand effect display ads have had on me but I know I'd rather see something relevant to business, finance, or tech, as opposed to feminine products or entertainment magazines.
Yes, I'm speaking the advertising industry party line, but I do kind of agree with it.
Do you think everyone likes these ads, and the ones who are complaining are just whining without really thinking about what great pants they could be buying?
Do you think some other people may not like these ads? Is it odd that those people would try to pressure companies into not showing these ads?
Do you think one side of the other is in the majority here? Can either side speak "for" the masses, who don't talk about/understand ads one way or the other?
I didn't presuppose any of that. I was only pointing out that you framed the question as:
"Do I want a good thing, or a bad thing?"
- obviously you want the good thing
When in reality the question is:
"Do I want a thing with good and bad attributes, or another thing with good and bad attributes?"
- this reflects the reality of the situation
