What a badly copy-edited headline (from the original article). Maybe just me, but my first reaction reading it was "Why is the CEO of Duck Duck Go advocating opting-in to data tracking?
Actually, he was saying we should _have to_ opt in to data tracking, if it's something you want. [/Pedant]
- couchand 7y agoThe thing that really bothers me is that it ought to read "opt in to", but I agree with your sentiment.

- squarefoot 7y agoThe only way to stop this is by starving their hunger for clicks. It would be nice having a global clickbait variable to be attached to an URL or a domain, so that it can be community updated when titles such as this one are used, then a browser extension reads it and warns before clicking it. Of course I would expect heavy abuses of such a tool...
