I (and I think I speak for most of us- so this is clarifying for later readers) don't object to ads as long as they are not trackers.

The next anti-tracking technology should include fake tracking.

What makes you say you’re speaking for most of us?

Engaging with these threads for a couple of years. I will say though that there seem to be more people here in the biz of tracking than there used to be.

That would be extremely counterintuitive. Ads are visible; they give people reason to object to them even without knowing much about them, because their existence is intentionally intrusive.

Tracking doesn't mean anything to most people.

True; I by "us" I mean HN folks- people who know.
