What's stopping you from not using such sites?

  It's just that I find the WebAss propaganda dishonest and the discussion here naive. I personally have no problem discussing the economies of publishing, and I'm also not against ads. Tracking, OTOH, needs to go away.

    I don't see any propaganda, I see a very interesting, beneficial and good technology. What's naive about that? No one says it has no downsides; but some people don't consider it a downside. And again - if you don't like being tracked, there's nothing easier than not visiting these sites, because that's simply the price of visiting the page. Obfuscated JavaScript code is about as hard to read as equivalent WebAssembly code, maybe even harder, so you still have exactly the same options to find out you're being tracked.

      And I'd like to point out that tracking is very effective even with no JavaScript at all.
