  1. So the latest version of Ghostery marks DoubleClick and Google Analytics as "slow and/or non-secure trackers" on multiple sites. Hmmm...

      To be clear I like Ghostery's browser plugin a lot. I recommend it b/c it allows you to block shit ad tech while letting ads show...

        But this is annoying because if many block those two trackers the site you are on will go bankrupt. Also, are they slow trackers?

          Because almost every piece of ad tech loaded crawling, zombie-like, out of ads seems slower to me? Just sort of an irritating event.

            But also expected. B/c as news continues to allow ad tech to wage war on users, our readers are being pushed to scorch the earth in response

              It's pretty easy to chart where this is going. Publishers are going to make it so sites don't load unless users load up ad tech/tracking.

                Mark that ^ prediction now, because I will gladly lay down a bet that this is coming in the next 5 years.

                  It's a terrible idea, but when has that stopped the media?

                    I am highly amused by how my Who To Follow suggestions have changed after this thread.
