It's inspiring how quickly ad tech devs can band together to completely remove all ads from their ad tech development environment.

  I've had a theory for a while now that the only reason devs are so ok with working on ads is because they never see any (with pihole/ublock/hosts/etc...) and they don't know how creepy they are. On the rare occasion I have to turn off my adblocker I'm almost always amazed by how well the ads are tracking me - and that's while I'm actively trying to prevent it from tracking me!

    On the other hand, I'm sure it simply pays nice.
