doesn't the ad free version not track you?

Their whole infrastructure is built on tracking. Their ad-free option doesn’t block your content blocker.
-
how does the ad free version track you?
-
The tracking in the ad-free version is first-party. The business of Condé Nast, however, is behavioural tracking.
-
sorry, so ad free version is just Google Analytics or equivalent? And you object to that?
-
Nope, Condé Nast have their own tracking systems (eg. Ars Accelerator, etc.) They run their own third-party tracking systems.

Thanks for Better - great blocker! Any chance you can add Forbes to your blocker/blocker hit list? :-) https://appsto.re/ca/YDJBab.i

Thanks, David. Did you get the blocker message on Forbes. I think we accidentally unblocked their blocker blocker at one point…
-
I got a gentle “We noticed you are using a content blocker and will give you access to Forbes Lite for 30 days”
-
K, will look into it. Was going to anyway. It feels like they’re possibly A/B testing.

I did but I confess I missed the main point. Am, like you, cool with ads l, but yeah, that's super creepy territory.

No worries—please let me know if you have any suggestions for making the argument clearer. Constant iteration FTW :) +
@billt -
My suggestion would be don't tweet first thing after waking up...that'd be a good start (for me) ;-)

Hah! That’s one I’ve yet to learn myself ;) +

why do think you deserve anything for free?

Nice straw man. We don’t. We think we don’t deserve to be tracked or have our browser options circumvented. +
