And what can we do to make the Internet a more safe and privacy friendly place and replace the ad business by something less unpleasant ?
Read something about 1β809 in an article lately:

I'm pretty sure I've seen four digits. That was a "lol no".

Websites have to pay their bills. Ads, subscriptions or microtransactions; take your pick.
The one way I can think of that would retain the anonymous character of the internet would be HTTP microtransactions by some kind of crypto. Hopefully one of the non-wasteful ones, so not Bitcoin.
I ususally have them blocked, but on some news site I remember seeing 750+ and off it wanted you to manually unchecked all of them one by one.
Around 2.000 no kidding
9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?
I think it was some site I found via some Linux news page, but not 9gag. A few months ago I saw another site with 800 something as well. Odd.
I had high 700s, where even 1 is more than I can stomach. Thank devs for uBlock Origin.
"Hey dude, we were going to hang out on Sunday. We were planning just us, but can I bring 651 friends along?"
Aliens gang probing you to find out the effects of gang probing on humans
I can relate to the guy that had to put that number in. Prolly went along the lines of « can we get some budget to identify our various processing activities and what processors are involved ? »⦠to what management said « lol no just put the overall numbers in ». And the guy included the kitchen company in there because fuck it.
800-something.
we cure about your privacy, It's very valuable for us, so please, all your data are belong to us
We care about your privacy which is why we are sharing your date with almost 1000 services 998 of which are fully redundant and only 1 is actually needed for the service we provide
lmao I love when they say "we care about your privacy" then they go on to say exactly how much data they're gonna collect and process
I would actually respect it if they were honest in one of these.
Well, technically they do care about your privacy if your privacy is annoying to them and they wish it was gone.
1200ish is my personal best can't remember what site it was on.
As to what we can do not really a clue on a grand scale,i just block ads and cookies fanatically.
