I'm pretty sure I've seen four digits. That was a "lol no".

And what can we do to make the Internet a more safe and privacy friendly place and replace the ad business by something less unpleasant ?

Websites have to pay their bills. Ads, subscriptions or microtransactions; take your pick.

The one way I can think of that would retain the anonymous character of the internet would be HTTP microtransactions by some kind of crypto. Hopefully one of the non-wasteful ones, so not Bitcoin.

I think what you're describing at the end there is basically what Brave (browser) tried to do.

CanadaPlus ,

Huh, I missed that. Yep, they were using Bitcoin back before it was fully a circlejerk, looks like, which is reasonable. Now I just know it as a Chrome spinoff that pretends to be private, haha.

It looks like Chrome's trying to do something similar, although there's a high chance Google will attempt a walled garden version.

"Web Monetization" is the keyword. It could be great for things like Lemmy, too, where hosting costs might eventually become a major obstacle.

I ususally have them blocked, but on some news site I remember seeing 750+ and off it wanted you to manually unchecked all of them one by one.

9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?

lemmyreader OP ,

I think it was some site I found via some Linux news page, but not 9gag. A few months ago I saw another site with 800 something as well. Odd.

CanadaPlus ,

So, we've moved on from Reddit. Do we still make fun of 9gag now?

Honytawk ,

Why wouldn't we? Still a shithole over there.

CanadaPlus , (edited )

I don't know, maybe it's just so irrelevant now we need a new joke, I guess. Then again, OP was on it.

fckreddit ,

I had high 700s, where even 1 is more than I can stomach. Thank devs for uBlock Origin.

"Hey dude, we were going to hang out on Sunday. We were planning just us, but can I bring 651 friends along?"

fckreddit ,

This is more like “Can my 651 friends snoop on our party?”

Aliens gang probing you to find out the effects of gang probing on humans

I can relate to the guy that had to put that number in. Prolly went along the lines of « can we get some budget to identify our various processing activities and what processors are involved ? »… to what management said « lol no just put the overall numbers in ». And the guy included the kitchen company in there because fuck it.

Silver lining: there would be no need to get STD tested because you will for sure know that you have all of them lol.

It doesn't even say they care about your privacy, they aren't even trying to hide it.

IamAnonymous ,

It’s the worst site. Every time I need to scroll all the way to the bottom to click Accept. It’s like they made it that way on purpose.

jmcs ,

We care about your privacy which is why we are sharing your date with almost 1000 services 998 of which are fully redundant and only 1 is actually needed for the service we provide

lmao I love when they say "we care about your privacy" then they go on to say exactly how much data they're gonna collect and process

taladar ,

Well, technically they do care about your privacy if your privacy is annoying to them and they wish it was gone.

CanadaPlus ,

I would actually respect it if they were honest in one of these.

jkrtn ,

We care about your privacy! We can get a buck or two for it.

LEGITIMATE INTEREST!!

jmcs ,

Legitimate interests don't require a banner. The simple fact you see a banner means their lawyers know they couldn't convince the dumbest judge that they actually need that stuff.

egonallanon ,

1200ish is my personal best can't remember what site it was on.

As to what we can do not really a clue on a grand scale,i just block ads and cookies fanatically.
