Dutch website ditched Google Ads; revenue went up

https://www.wired.com/story/can-killing-cookies-save-journalism/ It certainly does track with my experience, in that I read local news online yet I get targeted ads that have nothing to do with the fact that I live in downtown Portland. Google sure does know when I consider buying something but don'...

However, I firmly believe that antitrust action only increases c...

Re: Artifact 2.0 beta

Universal Rating Scale
