Care to elaborate?
Good news is that none of this matters to you since you avoid Google products.
- mostlysimilar 3y agoThe web was one of the best opportunities we had to steer the ship in a positive direction. Instead of encouraging and fostering the creative and self-expressive web, Google optimized for sucking the wealth out of us at the expense of everything else. And no, I don't buy the "SEO gamification ruined it, Google just responded" argument. They have billions of dollars and hordes of brilliant engineers. They could have done this differently. This was intentional because it made them fabulously wealthy.
- Gud 3y agoThere is no way to avoid "Google products". Google are everywhere via Google Analytics.
- thunky 3y agoMaybe I'm missing something but AFAIK Google can't force anyone to install Google Analytics on their website. It would make more sense to me if you were upset with those that do. And if you're someone that knows enough to dislike GA then you're probably already blocking it.
