I love how in this thread about, ostensibly, why tracking is bad and trackers should be blocked people are arguing that using GA is ok because doing anything else is "too hard". Why can't this same argument be applied recursively to any of the trackers in the NYT tracking sphere? I'm sure it can, and I'm sure that's why loading a NYT page loads dozens of various third-party tracking scripts: because doing anything else would have been "too hard" for the NYT marketing & technology departments.
