And that would appear to be the #enshittification of SingletrackWorld complete. Time to cancel my subscription. #cycling
@pete almost all the time I’m accused of using an ‘ad blocker’ I’m doing no such thing – I’m using a tracker blocker. My all means show me ads if they don’t track me. I mean I’d rather you didn’t show me ads, but still…
@Richr You and me both, Rich. From my message to them:
@Richr I don't know why, if sites insist on the tracking nonsense, they don't offer a non-intrusive fallback. If I bought a print cycling mag, I'd expect to see ads. I may ignore them, but accept them and why they were there.
I think I'd be ok with non-tracking relevant ads on websites. And the site hosting them would still show as a referrer to wherever I ended up should I click, so there'd still be metrics of some sort. But what do I know?
