This "commentary" is really common on HN. Perhaps, to add "integrity" for cynical HN readers, articles critical of tracking and advertising should be published on pages that do not include the means to access trackers or ad servers. Not sure how that changes the effect of the article. One would think the content of the article is what matters. Perhaps this is just another example of shooting the messenger.
