I also have issues with this on a news site where I pay for. If I pay, please quit tracking me. It provides incentive to subscribe, and shows a honesty in the matter.
- neltnerb 7y agoI kind of assume it's because news websites don't exactly have the best web designers working for them. Might just be technically hard to make it so that javascript doesn't get loaded when someone is logged in. But if they can't spend the effort to do that, I guess their loss. Or gain, I doubt they lose many subscribers over this. Probably they just figure no one cares and they're probably mostly right.
