This is all bullshit. We literally did this sort of thing for years on the Internet before all of this tracking was common.
Every company claims that they are doing this stuff to make things better for users, and it never is.
- jobs_throwaway 3y ago> We literally did this sort of thing for years on the Internet before all of this tracking was common. You mean back when your average website was hot garbage? The yearning for the days of static HTML pages is childish atavism
- manicennui 3y agoWho said anything about static HTML pages? Keep beating that strawman though.
- manicennui 3y agoYou are literally using a website that was created by someone who started an online storefront app in 1995. Amazon started around the same time. Google a few years later.
- AlexandrB 3y agoThe average site today is hot garbage. But now it requires several orders of magnitude more bandwidth and processing power to render. Not sure this is progress.
