    Worked in ads myself, seen the tech, developed it. This chick is baiting. If the glucose company is doing this they aren’t going to suddenly update their T&S blocking you out of their stuff, because they were already doing it, as you say they already have it. And not through the method she’s described, which is impossible, but indeed through the ever surviving meta and google cross site traching, which again is something iPhone is particularly good at blocking by rotating your ip for free for you.

    Anyway, I’m sure you’ll disagree and the outrage voting will want her story to be true, and she did so much work on her makeup and the lighting, but I guarantee she’s fishing for clicks.

      This entire comment thread is weird, so you more or less agree with me, and agree that it’s something they have, but are upset because she’s doing it for clicks. We’re arguing semantics of the implementation, when the main jist is correct, they’re selling client data and many users probably are unaware, which then the problem is that the users probably should be bluntly aware of it. Which leads me to why is she doing it for clicks? I think a bigger question is if this was a man who was trying to raise awareness, would the assumption have been the same, that they were doing it for clicks, or awareness? I don’t know man, I’m getting some weird vibes from this thread.

      You called out her appearance, called her a chick, then assumed she was doing it for likes. You attacked her argument only by saying she doesn’t understand what’s happening. Those are three big assumptions that I really wonder if you’d had made about a male creator.
