    Advertisements might be the alternative to branded merchandise and donations. With a gigantic helping of JavaScript.

      You can run ads without JavaScript. No need to be an intrusive son of a bitch - broadcast radio and TV don't track, newspapers, magazines, and books bought at the store don't track, it's only the fucked up internet that seems to think you need to track everything , and that's due to the "because we can" mentality.

      See all the tracking in China? That's going to be the norm everywhere "because we can".

      We need to have a law requiring sites to allow users to disable all JavaScript. Many sites won't let you in if you don't have it.

        I'll bet advertisers don't know that. They probably require JavaScript. Because . . .

        No need to be an intrusive son of a bitch

        Part of the job requirement of advertisers.

        Many sites won't let you in if you have a javascript capable browser with javascript off. But switch to something like links and hey presto you can get in through the disability backdoor.

        Very funny!

        Yeah, freedom sucks, doesn't it? If they don't want you in, you should take the hint!

          I'm just amazed that Americans aren't complaining about their rights under the ADA being totally broken. Bunch of wimps. Rights need to be exercised or you lose them.

            Americans don't need "rights". They have Trump! Cruisin' down the boulevard. What could possibly be better?
