Like the actual string?
Yeah, i think their terms of services are scripted so if they get more or less advertisers based on your country between other things, that way they can redirect the same page to everybody
Oh so that's how they do it, has to go to the list of things that give you feelings of power
We should have a challenge of finding the site with most "friends".
Screenrant offered me 1516 exclusive partners yesterday.
Someone should create a leaderboard of websites sharing data with the most "partners", this week I saw someone on Mastodon posting a screenshot of a website sharing to 1700+ third-parties.
I know we shouldn't abuse the word, but I feel like "slut" is appropriate here.
To continue that analogy, they're the pimp and you're the slut. You're the one getting shared around.
Out of curiosity, what service was this?
