I do not see this so much creepy as scary. Big companies have the resources to stalk everyone with an open opinion, and the technology is just getting cheaper.

I want to be able to comment on-line without having tens, hundreds or thousands of companies creating profiles of my personality.

People need to get back their position in politics, economics and the public space. If every conversation is exploited to sell more products, how can we as a society have honest open conversations in the public space?

Sadly, even in the private space (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) there is also data collection and commercialization of people private lives.

Yes, it is public. But, no, it is not acceptable to transform everything public in a product.
