Yeah, stop suckering yourself with scam artist nonsense pretending to be “digital marketing”.

I mean really? Analytics that typically aren’t providing any useful data that can’t be gleaned from your server-logs with tools like webalizer or analog, and that “tag management” NONSENSE that just generates more statistical card-stacking to let your marketers PRETEND they’re doing anything useful playing BS bingo with numbers?

The only reason this type of marketing hucksterism are a thing is that there’s money to be made pretending it’s still 1960. Not for the companies who continue to not realize they’re lighting money on fire, but by the marketing and advertising execs who can sit there circle-jerking their captive audience in long pointless meetings where nothing gets accomplished.

But what do I know? As a user I run Ghostery on nearly every platform I use, telling the creepy stalker rubbish that is scripted “tag management” and “analytics” to sod off. If a website doesn’t work with that trash blocked, I don’t go to that site!
