Ghostery counts 27 trackers for me on this single Wired article, 19 of which are classified as "Advertising". I would not call this "not to be too invasive".

I didn't look too deeply, but yeah, that's ridiculous. I don't need any Wired article that much.

Exactly. The whole piece is < 900 words, mentions about 4 meaningful pieces of info (current Slack stats, names of 3 OSS competitors and a line or three about their rationales, history, 1-2 added features). Hardly "must-read" territory.

For those ~15 lines of unwrapped text, the whole page is 1900 lines in total.
