  1. Wow, seems the people farmers of surveillance capitalism have fully embraced scammer techniques now.

    Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.

    They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.

    To the asshole developers who built this for them instead of refusing: Fuck you for making everyone less safe. You dickheads are the problem.
