You're entirely blaming web developers for the decisions of marketing and management. Do you think we like including 1mb+ tracking scripts?
Yeah, that doesn't exempt you from blame as much as you would like.
Listening to these developers rant about what is probably the fastest and most user friendly effort while they push out stuff that makes yours eyes bleed is ridiculous.
All web developers should all be forced to browse with Adblock off and no auto play block.
Mgmt if it shows a tiny bump in some ad click metric for a quarter will shove a popover out while they burn the long term value in the web and their sites.
The fact that google has to push these types of things is embarrassing.
