By "scummy" I am talking about the same thing as the other people in this thread talking about "poor taste", "ethics", and "morality". Surreptitiously tracking users without their knowledge or consent (and I mean the end users, not your users who are paying you to do it) just isn't something cool to brag about, any more than robocalling people at dinner, or a thousand other things that are nevertheless legal and make monthly recurring revenue for those who do them. Not saying you shouldn't be able to do it; a lot of unseemly and faintly repulsive things happen in the name of marketing. I'm just saying it's kind of a lame thing to do in general, and it is pretty off-putting to read a blog post that basically says, "Look how rad we are for tricking all these people and tracking them without their knowledge!"
