Then don't reply.
Literally the best-case scenario for you is that you're incensed over an optional feature.
Now go back and do the bare fucking minimum and read my comment before replying, since that's what we could now be discussing instead of me complaining about how lazy you are.
personalized advertising is on by default. you have to opt out, the support page lied on that one detail. turning it off does not turn off advertisements, it just makes them generalized to people in your area because the advertising is not optional. this is pretty basic, and how all advertising platforms work, not just microsoft. and you know that, you're just pretending you don't.
I'm not gonna waste my time reading novels by fanboys just because your feelings are hurt. you're under no obligation to like that. you can rage and throw a fit if you want, but I'm not going to play your game because I'm under no obligation to humor you in any way.
now, are we done here, or do you want to whine at me some more about how the thing that microsoft announced themselves can't be true because a corporation would never be mean to you?
See, now you're typing falsehoods because you didn't bother reading for fifteen seconds. How embarrassing for you.
I'll take that as you giving up. Good. Now as I said before, have a nice day.
