@fallbackerik @heatsink @phil Iām not quite certain how listing unrelated and far fetched interpretations of the word ātrackingā is relevant here. Clearly here the discussion is about non-consensual user tracking.
Shall we mayhaps correct GP to tell them that DNS filtering wonāt improve the tracking of his vinyl player needle?
DNS-level filtering is an entirely valid way to improve oneās experience of the modern webāeven if with DoH it is increasingly becoming a (losing) game of whack-a-mole.

Betteridge's law of headlines says:
"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
Three. @ianb uses full stops.
I don't know about Forbes, but question head answers to the New Statesman have of late been prefixed by a "Ha ha ", as well, so there are 200% extra bytes there too. (-:

@phil I see this pattern on so many websites and I hate it.
Often I look if there was a new season of some TV show or anime and I always get shit article like this. Who on earth even reads these? There is never anything interesting there. One would hope for director's journal about battle with upper management, but it is always some lorem ipsum rubbish.
These days I always rather go straight to wikipedia a check there. They always have a neat table showing seasons with their release dates.
@salocin Yeah, sounds about right. It is exactly the same like shovelware (low-quality software produced and distributed in large quantities and sold to unsuspecting victims).
And AI does make generating such slop even easier. So much garbage everywhere. Makes me sad :(
