Since many of those sites "work" by tracking you and relentlessly analyzing your behavior, I'd say that's a good thing. If a site shows me nothing but a blank screen when I load it up with scripts disabled, I am very reluctant to enable 14 different script domains just to see a paged article, or worse, a slide show. Allowing scripts to run only from whitelisted domains makes the web a better place.
