That’s a very charitable way to explain this. It’s much more likely that they want to coerce people to turn on tracking.

- IanCal 8y agoQuite possibly, though I have a very uncharitable reason for my guess. Google likes to go for "don't worry we'll do it automatically!" but they're overconfident and often terrible at it. This seems to happen throughout the business and is a huge downside to me. I wonder if they added the feature without thinking it'd be worth letting people set it themselves because they're so good at doing it automatically. This also has the benefit of being a decision made at a lower level rather a larger "add more tracking" push. I've had to turn off lots of automated Google things like ticket reminders (that tell me to catch the wrong train because they can't read the email right).
