It sets a precedent that tracking someone's movements is A-OK.
Marco also has a stake in a wholly different idea of what advertising is. Notice "The Deck"s advertisement in his sidebar? He doesn't hate advertisements at all. He wants ad networks that are targeted, instead of being spammed out across every site and requiring invasive tracking to determine who and what product to show.
- Kylekramer 15y agoWhy is The Deck targeting one specific market fine but Google's larger scale targetting attempts spammy and invasive?
- sudont 15y agoI'm going to quote myself: "It sets a precedent that tracking someone's movements is A-OK." Anything that large will require metrics and user tracking to understand what to show. It matches the ads to the user, not to the site, by invading the user's privacy to understand exactly what to show.
- nl 15y agoIt sets a precedent that tracking someone's movements is A-OK. Not sure how you get this from Google building a new destination site. Doesn't this mean they'd do less cross-site tracking (since presumably they will spend more time on this new site)?
