> we have gone a little bit overboard on the advertising Quite an understatement. I will repeat myself: visible ads are the tip of the tracking/data-mining iceberg. Not seeing ads is not a sign that a site is more respectful of its visitors. Found a pretty good example of this earlier today. See how there are no visible ads on the page, it looks rather clean, and yet see the amount of 3rd parties being pulled into the page[1]: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/585534/10198746/6008afec-676b-11e5-98a4-e89ad6b67048.png https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/585534/10198746/6... [1] this is the result of temporarily whitelisting the site to be able to see what it pulls in without a blocker.
