Zuckerberg is terrified of people finding out he has no clothes. The fact is that online advertising simply no longer works. Nobody pays attention any more. Nobody clicks through any more. The term bubble is being bandied about. He’s frightened that businesses will realize that all the data for targeted ads he’s collecting and selling is in reality effectively valueless.

Personalized advertising doesn’t work well with me, particularly on Facebook. I am subscribed to emails from businesses that I have done business with and continue to do so; clothing, Apple, software. travel, kitchen and cooking stuff.
