This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Cites Eli Pariser, the boss of UpWorthy. We recall UpWorthy as a dispenser of trash news, curated by people paid poorly to express two things — joy and cloying earnestness. Packaged as one or two pragraph pieces of clickbait wrapped up as a daily dose of Chocks vitamins and PopTarts for your soul.

An ad hominem argument does not invalidate the larger point.
As my old boss used to say, even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.

Stopped watch, yep. Ad hominem, guilty as charged. I was a reviewer for years at a newspaper. It made people open the paper on Saturday. There’s still a special place in old school journalism Hell for Eli Pariser and UpWorthy.

Upworthy somehow escaped my notice, likely because it didn’t live up to its name.
Remember, that blind pig with his acorn is still a blind pig.
