Actually I doubt that, 50% are probably automatically generated rubbish that is (luckily) not available in a local library. But yeah, this is probably just "renting". I doubt you could download them all but I would love to try doi

Sensationalist post... It mentions Google Analytics (duh, sadly everyone uses it) and quizzes where users choose to participate. Nothing else. Yes, if you answer things in an quiz, those answers can give the host information about you. Duh!
