This website forces you to pay for a subscription to reject -any- of it's tracking. No, you can't just go in and reject them individually. Any selection other than "accept all" gets you this page.

These things are regularly ruled to be illegal in Germany and still many big news sites use them.

I did that for a long time, but there's so many that I just kinda gave up on keeping up with it

You know when a company is doing well with that many “partners”.

Vulgar and abusive language. Thats an automatic disconnect.

I wouldn't believe them. If they're doing this, they're still selling your data.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 14 pts · 2d
And they will continue the tracking, anyway.

oh, you want privacy?
sure, just give us your credit card details :)

Aren't they kind of just being honest about what all websites do anyway? Hell, most places you pay for are still tracking you and selling your data, so frankly this may be an upgrade over other services.

The writers of Black Mirror should sue every time someone steals one of their plots to make money.

Not that this is a legit service, but aren't the two main options:
Services cost money. It's never free. Someone is always paying

I'm ok with advertisements personally. My issue is soley with the tracking. You're correct that this is how they pay for non paying customers but I'm focused on the morality of that monetization. Staticly inserted advertisments that don't track you are fine. Like the old newspapers which had a simple advertisement placed there that didn't watch you back. That's fine.
I'd be much happier if they paywalled the article, or parts of it.
If the free version isn't viable without immoral monetization it's unviable. Don't do it, or find another way to monitize.

Lots of people would rather be tracked than pay

The ads chosen from tracking generate more revenue, unfortunately

Honestly, I find it somewhat refreshing that a company offers this choice. It seems like a more honest, transparent way of doing business.
It's terrible from a marketing perspective though (this post is a good example of why)

"Pay or Ok"
The latest scummy tactic of news sites; this started shortly after the ruling that reposting their content was grounds for a DMCA strike.

Pay to reject tracking, but by next week your payment history is dumped online because of some website vulnerability...
Pay to be tracked is more like it.
