This is precisely what advertising companies do. They are paid to determine the habits of their viewers, which is valuable information. It is completely transparent to you, you see nothing, you pay nothing, and all the while you get the content or other service you were seeking on-line for free.
I don't believe the net could survive without advertising. The tracking of customer habits is just anoter facet of it. There are plenty of other things to worry about right now, like free speech rights on the net. Let's leave advertisers alone for once, because in the great big world of the Web, you could say that they're the least of our concerns.
