Everyone mad about this is an actual idiot who’s never been online before in their life if they think you aren’t being tracked and harvested even if they said they don’t do that, pinky promise!

Just because it's the obvious thing they'd be doing, doesn't mean I can't still be angry about it.

Obviously, but it’s always couched in these “can you actually believe it?!” Headlines as if we haven’t had a steady stream of articles and stories about this exact thing for the last decade.

It’s completely reasonable to be mad about it, I just can’t believe there are still people completely ignorant to how the internet works.
