Outstanding. They don't know how the ad industry works. by Horus Truthteller 10/11/2018, 6:25am PDT
@Sihoiba Skimlinks auto-adds affiliate tags to some links out from RPS posts. I didn’t know there was a tracker connected to that. I’m not sure what the DoubleClick one is – the ad-free version of the site strips all ads out in full so there shouldn’t be any remnants. I’ll ask the tech team and in the meantime have removed the “no trackers” mention from the post.


This is your fucking industry! It's ads! You HAVE to know how this shit works. You have to. The same shit that allows them to write about games without having the faintest idea of how it works is a guide to how they treat everything else they rely on. "Ask the tech team." Dude, you should BE the tech team.

Guy responds with this:


@Graham Smith Do you get that this is the actual problem for many of us though? You’re asking us to trust you in the article, then telling us you don’t even know why one tracker ended up in the ad-free site. I don’t get how we are meant to trust that? Some years ago RPS asked the same thing, and I whitelisted the site. And something nasty got through. Yes, it was fixed after but it makes it hard to trust again. This sort of thing is not really convincing me that things have changed. When the first comment thread under the article where you’re asking us to trust you shows you don’t really know what’s going on yourselves?
I view ads when reading on my phone and iPad (where nothing that nasty can happen) and fully intend to subscribe when the monthly sub is a thing, but I’m not really feeling reassured here.


He is correct. They don't have the chops or interest to understand how their industry works. They just want to cry about revenue like babies to get their way. Like men who are babies.
