Nor I, on my in-Canada account. Desktop access only; I don't have the Paypal app installed on my phone.

The article's image shows, under Manage your privacy settings, the options:

  • Permissions you've given

  • Interest-based marketing (which is the option pertinent to this issue)

    • Interest-based marketing on PayPal
    • Interest-based marketing in your other accounts

  • Blocked contacts

    But my account's options are:

  • Permissions you've given

  • Manage your cookies

    • Marketing
    • Performance
    • Functional
    • Essential

  • Blocked contacts

Possibly the Marketing checkbox is the Canadian version of this? I've got that checkbox turned off.

Title of the linked YouTube video is "The Birth of Gated Reverb Drums in the 1980s". Video was very interesting. Clickbaity thread title is trash.

It's not a nitpick to know the meaning of the words we use, and how to use them. ashley.belanger@arstechnica.com and the arstechnica editors should know better.
