Because I don't want to waste the time of people who aren't interested in my ad in seeing my ad.

Than don't run ads. Essentially nobody is interested in seeing ads, targeted or not.

It's a waste of money for me. The ad network will not be able to make money from having them click the ad.

I don't give a fuck how much money it costs you or if the ad network goes bankrupt, why should I?

The user's time will be wasted because they are not interested in what I am selling.

As I said, then don't run ads if you actually care about wasting user time. Even if you have a conversion rate of 10 % you are still wasting time for the other 90 %.

It's a lose lose lose situation.

I would consider it a win if all ad companies go bankrupt and I never have to see an ad again.

I want to create more win win win situations where everyone benefits. Tracking and profiling is needed to increase the rate that this happens.

This is not win win win, this is win win win LOSE - a few users get a product they want, you get some sales, the ad network gets your ad budget, and everyone else gets nothing but being tracked and profiled.
