one must appreciate the vision and legislation that’s enforced that particular phrasing. it becomes so much more starker – how cavalierly your data is treated.
That many partners is guaranteed to produce some sort of infection.
Is it ok to slut shame a website for having too many partners?
Is it okay for a salesman to jump into your bed along with their 874 partners in exchange for selling you a newspaper?
(NOTE: Ads DON’T HAVE TO be targeted. You can show ads and not track the user.)
Or (being devil’s advocate here): just don’t be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it’s not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don’t even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don’t have to be targeted. Although it’s not as if it won’t get there anyway.
One time a game asked me to allow cookies, instead of a “deny all” button I had to deny each partner individually. I was standing there disabling every toggle for about 15 minutes because there were 500+ of them.
Sounds like fandom.com
Even when disabled at a high level, their sub checks are still there and there are hundred of them. Deceptive BS.
I don’t even need to worry about the tracking at fandom because they do that stupid “auto play an unrelated video at the top of the screen and once you scroll past it it moves down and perpetually stays on the screen, taking up 30-50% of your mobile screen” so I will always immediately close the page once I see that fucking bullshit
Truly hostile ui design. Just open disdain for their users. At least it’s muted by default
If you replace fandom.com with breezewiki.com in the URL, you’ll either get an unfucked version of the page, or you’ll get a redirect to a new wiki site that the fandom actually updates. It’s crazy how fandom doesn’t let communities remove a fandom site, so there are all of these unmaintained and out of date fandom wikis out there.

EDIT: as a demonstration, here’s what happens when you use breezewiki with the Noita fandom page: https://noita.breezewiki.com/wiki/Noita_Wiki
That bloody wiki farm is so user-hostile that there’s at least one extension redirecting its traffic to wikis elsewhere.
I would have written a user-script to find all check boxes and check them automatically.
Oh, wait, a game? So not a web browser?
And after I made an AHK script to check all those boxes, I’d make another AHK script to beat the shit out of that game in 10 minutes. If it’s multi-player I’m specifically ruining the fun for others with my cheating. Fuck games like that, fuck companies like that.
They unknowingly provided me with a completely different game to play.
okay i agree.
