I'm getting tired of everything requiring you to "sign-in" for even cursory viewing of data. I have noticed some things bucking the trend like ordering online from a restaurant. But more often than not, things seem to require some kind of account they can mine for contacts.
- gumby 5y agoWell to the restaurant it is more important to do business with you than to collect your data. While the issue tracker isn't Google's actual business, collecting data is.
- gxs 5y agoI stopped using thewirecutter.com for this reason (there are workaraounds, but in the end not worth the trouble). An account is now required just to read reviews. Over the years I've stopped using a number of sites - it's such an inconvenience to manage email/pws for a million different sites, not to mention a privacy issue.
