Is it terrifying or not how internet sites monitor all your searches and viewings so they can market something to you?

It’s annoying if not downright terrifying. Imo the right to privacy is gone. Totally.

As a recent example, several hours ago I looked at and downloaded a photo of an Italian armor from the NY MET museum website and posted it on a FB art group. Now, there’s a video about that armor on my YouTube home page.

Is this the future? The world of the internet knowing everything about its users from birth to death? And in a capitalistic society the idea of having privacy remains just that, an idea?

Do you think eventually there would be a pushback against this extremely intrusive commercial practice?
