Profiles opt-in ads by default

The new feature of creating profiles seems like a good idea - however, I'm distressed that when creating a profile the general settings for the home page such as "Recommended stories" or "Sponsored shortcuts" select the default opt-in to advertising, rather than creating your new profile using the settings that you already had. This feels like a deceptive tactic. I think it would be better for a newly created profile to default to the same settings as the profile that you are in when you create the profile.

I understand your concern—defaulting new profiles to opt-in for ads can feel misleading. For example, just like sharing links for apps such as gtasandresapk, users expect consistency and control over their preferences.
