Are you kidding? No of course not.
You as a reader would rather prefer that the publisher doesn’t spy on you. Would you feel comfortable reading a newspaper whilst the editor looked over your shoulder all the time ? You might want to do that as a paid testing panel but not voluntarily.
If you wrote an article, and you’re mediocre or spammy, of course you’d get off on such metrics to please yourself, to get validation. Good writers would not care as much.
- hkai 6y agoIt's like saying that as a McDonald's customer, you'd prefer they did not charge you for food and you could just get it for free, without having to follow the rules. In fact, McDonald's has a lot of anti features: having to wait in line, greasy food, having to pay for the food and inability to bring outside food and drinks. Businesses need to earn money and knowing their customers is part of this.
- tingol 6y agoIt's not like that at all.

- vertex-four 6y ago“Knowing your customer” is not equivalent to performing surveillance on your customers. People knew their customer for centuries before we could tell that a random unwitting user spent 1.6 minutes on the page and exactly where they put their mouse cursor while they were on it.
