I'm concerned there's still some information Apple lacks to fully customize my ad experience. There's a whole world of data they could use to tailor-make advertisements. For instance, Apple still doesn't have access to my secret wants, dreams and darkest desires. Without read/write access to my brain, they must simply make wild guesses based on my browsing history. Hopefully in the future, I'll be able to beta test some sort of cerebral shunt or lightly invasive surgical implant to personalize my advertainment experience based on wants and desires I'm not even consciously aware of.
Although given the choice between targeted ads and non-targeted ads (i.e., spam), I'd much prefer the former. Of course, it would be best to get rid of ads altogether, but that's not going to happen now is it.
I like how Hulu does it. You can opt into broad categories, like Cars or Tech or Health. Or you can leave them all checked and get a generic stream. It's personalized, but based on data willingly given by the user, rather than collected by the company.
