I can understand your point, although I have a small beef with the consent point (you're visiting the website on your own consent, after all). More importantly though, you're basically pitting your privacy against someone else's money. Of course you're going to rank your privacy higher.
What if it was your privacy vs less content on the internet because more sites go out of business?
- alexqgb 15y agoGosh I don't know. Maybe sleazy sites getting pushed to the margins would have to develop non-sleazy business models or die trying. In either case, it's a win for the Internet.
- jbooth 15y agoSleazy sites like the new york times? Come up with a list of your favorite sites and I bet, aside from Ycombinator, all of them sell ads on the exchanges. And the only reason ycombinator doesn't have ads is because it is an ad. If you visit a website, I don't see how it's such a violation of your rights for them to take a note of your visit.
