I just wanted to note that forbes uses at least 16 trackers in this article (and does not tell you about it).

I have no problem with journalists pointing out flaws, but especially forbes likes to know a lot about its readers.

FYI, I opened up the privacy policy from my Spotify install (I updated yesterday, I think?) and none of this is mentioned in it.

With the default uBlock and uMatrix rules I use, the article just shows a spinner. I have to enable forbesimg.com that loads article thumbnails and the main css, along with 'vendor' and 'scripts' js.
