No, people will just slack because they can buy bread. We already saw this in the soviet block. The human brain works on incentives. Remove the incentive the human is in free fall.

You think that one morning drivers will wake up and will be laid off? You think that will happen in a year? In 10? This is not grounded in reality.

You are so desperate to justify your thinking (not to me, mind you, to yourself) that you grasp for every straw possible, forgetting what the question was about along the way. This particular question was about how you formed your opinion a

Of course they can. When you sign up for GA, you get asked Do you want to share data with google to improve our products? Do you want to pool aggregated data for benchmarking? Both are unchecked by default. Or do you think that google will

Except that my opinion is formed based on logic and my expertise and your opinion is based on... what exactly? >That means GA has a client IP for the user-agent When IP masking is enabled, Analytics removes the last octet of the user&#x

Yeah, it's not like this has happened ever before. We definitely need basic income. It will solve all the problems.

This has gone full circle and honestly is quite irritating at this point. People say that Google uses GA data for advertising, I say that this is not the case and then you just chose to ignore that. So I'm just gonna ask directly - can

How is GA abusive? The webmaster has to explicitly permit data sharing with google. That is, the webmaster is asked if s/he wants to share data with google and the options are unchecked by default. GA prohibits the use of personally id

Everyone who has signed up for GA knows it. When you sign up you are asked 2 questions: Do you want to share data with google to imrpove our products? Do you want to pool your data for benchmarking purposes? Both are unchecked by default. B

Yeah. So every site and every product on the internet has this dark pattern. Do you use google? Youtube? StackOverflow? Are you outraged by them too?

by TheLogothete 10y ago
People just LOOVE to be outraged. For example in this thread people rage about google getting hands on their data. When I point out that the webmaster has to explicitly chose to share the data with google, I get downvoted. When I say that G

It does not compromise the user's privacy in any way. GA prohibits PII. Also, the webmaster has to opt-in to share the data with Google in the first place.

It is used to improve the product, why is this useless to the user?

by TheLogothete 10y ago
I don't see how GA can be classified as malware according to this.
17.
by TheLogothete 10y ago
Google does not use GA data unless the webmaster chooses to share it with them. I'm not sure if they use it to improve their ad products, but I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no.

It's sad that you can't figure out a name which is not an exact replica of your competitor. And definitely deserves the lawsuit.

I have a feeling you process the data at the client.

Because your money would not be spent efficiently.

Donating money if you are not (filthy) rich is foolish. Those money would be MUCH better spent on you. If you want to help, do it with personal efforts.
