How should businesses owners gather market intelligence on their potential customers? How should potential customers signal their interest in new products?

The way I see it, this is not my concern. I know the ad business keeps a lot of content mills afloat, but I'm not particularly enamored with how that has turned out.

The point is that they are still going to do it anyway through things like Unified ID, Turtledove (outside scope of FLoC) so while we can object to the latest thing in the media, how would we propose they do it? If nobody cares then they have a bag of tricks full of worse measures waiting in the wings.
