This is another one of those horse-blinders style arguments that considers only for-profit/institutional/etc contexts and so doesn't realize their very method of measuring something through javascript program execution is biased or that it's creepy.

I'm a human, I don't execute javascript programs and by default my browser does not either. Anyone using this will label me a bot.

if by "bot" we mean "not economically interesting", aren't websites within their right to filter our hacker-nerds who probably won't click on ads and buy useless objects?

		the ratio of this comment vs. parent is absurd. tfa's prior mentions "anti-cheat" in games. while cheaters do suck, a lot of draconian trash has crept in under the guise of that banner. i have been finding my locked down experience has been becoming degraded lately fwiw. i am not economically "interesting", and the consequences of valuing privacy in 2026 is limiting information access. shame really.
