With all due respect, advertising networks have been tracking people for far longer than there have been ad blockers and privacy guards. This category of programs was literally created in response to the existence of such networks. Tracking companies will do as they please, regardless of any steps I take to defend my data and my privacy. The burden is on the shoulders of website operators to present meaningful alternatives to intrusive tracking as their core monetization strategy. It is obvious that those who do not will wither and die. Such is the way of capitalism. The onus is not mine to explain myself for using privacy protection programs. It is theirs to recognize this reality and to pivot, or die.
