Sonic being nice to Amy is fucking retarded. And while we're Eggman having a daughter that he actually cares about is also fucking stupid.

Frontiers is terrible fanfic wank.

Conductor is a vampire or Werehog trying to drag us all into his late night festivities.

Iizuka, where did you come from?!

>>134010644
hello IDW kun

>>134010643
You know Shadow, you don't have to save Sonic.
>>134010632
It's okay, this is going to be a 2 hour thread given there's 100+ pages.

>a creature that can create emeralds

Okay.

>>134010666
Again with the Satan trips. Also, phew! Shadow let one rip and it's purple!

>>134010644
Begone, Kishimoto!

>>134010666

And saving him is mandatory - Shadow can't progress if he doesn't.

>>134010690
Knock, knock!
>>134010638
I hear he is the Eggman.
>>134010657
>Conductor is a vampire or Werehog trying to drag us all into his late night festivities.
It's not my fault some anons live in Euroland.

>>134010657
>>134010663
Every single interaction Sonic has ever had with Amy until now as been outright revulsion. Dude acts like he'd rather kill himself than talk to her.

And Eggman is a heinous monster who tried to nuke Station Square, and BLEW UP THE EARTH. Oh, but he has a kid now, so we're supposed to forget all that shit. Fuck this entire franchise. Waste of my goddamn life.

>>134010716
Sadly, it is not Knuckles. Also, Sonic is drowning.

>>134010716
Freedom!
>>134010674
It requires more than that.
>>134010714
Dammit.

134010732

>>134010738
Sonic's also growling. I want to see if hedgehogs do that in real life and what they sound like.
>>134010737
Knuckles in a story like this would be fun. He'd be pissed off at everyone.

134010732
Begone, IDWkun. You have no power here.

>>134010738
Sonic must be dripping in all kinds of green fluids.

>>134010754
In which Eggman right clicked and saved the chaos emeralds hundreds of times.

>Sonic's also growling. I want to see if hedgehogs do that in real life and what they sound like.
They do apparently. It's a part of their mating dances as a light growling from a male to a female, but sometimes they might use it on you if theyre annoyed or in a bad mood. Often, its when they're disturbed or startled that they'll make a snuffling pig noise.

Sometimes its also done as a strength display between males, but it's mostly a hiss at that point. And if they're REALLY pissed at you, they'll just flat out start hissing and snapping.

>>134010830
Those are some impressive Christmas decorations.

>>134010776
>>134010841
What happens if he tries to absorb all of them?

>>134010841
It's not a Sonic comic without our hero falling face first in the ground.
>>134010838
Aw man, I want to see and hear that.

>>134010830
>>134010841
That's a lot of emeralds. Like, a LOT of emeralds.

>>134010860
Sonic needs the green emerald so he can complete his daily dose.
>>134010854
Embarrassing.
>>134010859

>being happy that the franchise has been ruined once again
Kill yourself.

>>134010838
I want, no, need someone to make a Discovery Channel 'nature documentary' comic about the mating habits of Mobians based on their real-life animal counterparts.

>>134010877
Time to go...

>>134010877
Sonic why is your nose so fucking big

>>134010860
>all of them are real emeralds
No seriously, why hasn't Eggman won yet?

>>134010893
Superrrrrr... never mind...
>>134010889
That's just porn. More animalistic but still porn in the end.

>>134010877
Stop sniffing the emeralds, Sonic. And stop being so smug Eggman.

>>134010889
That sounds like it would unironically be a great premise. Probably way too raunchy for this place though.

>>134010915

There is indeed a boss battle in this.
>>134010935
>Stop sniffing the emeralds, Sonic.
He's got a problem and needs an intervention.

>>134010937
Im confused on how can sonic use the dark form here if theres no fake emeralds ?

>>134010937
There's been a lot of hedgehog growling in this story. And I'm pretty certain it's not mating season.

>>134010954

>>134010954
For a second, I thought that was one of the horseshow princesses on that cover.

>>134010964
What could that be?
>>134010958
They are fake emeralds. Eggman just found another way to make them. He needs the hedgehogs to activate their power and they only work for a brief amount of time.

>>134010935
I mean a /co/ safe version. No mating seen, just the 'rituals' and the idiotic antics of the male Mobians trying to win over a female.

>>134010964
I'd fuck that Dark Sonic.

>robot dog thing can speak
Pretty rare for a Badnik with that kind of design.

>>134010985
I know Shadow wants to bust up everything but he does realize they're all on a ship and it still needs power to get them back to Mobius, right? Right?

>>134011003
Mobians can survive orbital re-entry. It will be fine.

>>134011003
Oh well, gotta go!
>>134010976
Hey there. That's dangerous talk.

>/co/ safe version
As long as you omit the walrus portion of the series.

>>134010915
>>134010937
Wait, if I'm understanding the setting correctly, Eggman completely stoped Sonic's transformation via closing the little shelves the emeralds are in? If so, kek

>>134011020
Constant energy drain and needing these chaos emeralds to get some of it back. Sounds like an addiction problem.
>>134011016
How about being stranded in space or on an alien planet?

>>134011020
Eggman got denied his fun. Poor guy.

>>134011003
Gerald didn't make Shadow smart.

>>134011020
I just noticed the characters are most likely drawn in MS Paint. Dunno what program they used for the coloring/shading, but props to them, the art's not half bad for the program it was made in.

>>134011035
That looks like a cool boss.
>>134011025
And something is draining his energy constantly. Better not do it too much or he'll get... furrier.

>>134011057
You're getting help whether you like it or not!
>>134011043
He'll have to let others have fun.
>>134011045
Looks like it.

I recognize a good number of these poses from the Archie comics.

>>134011057

>And something is draining his energy constantly. Better not do it too much or he'll get... furrier.
Are you foreshadowing something, Conductor?

>>134011076
Guess it's boss time.

>>134011076
Those are some cute fangs. Noe, let's find out who beats the boss first.

>>134011095

>>134011168
This is mostly your fault, Shadow! Now you're ditching Sonic?

Technically he's not wrong.

>>134011519
Shadow's really good at this.

>>134011524
There's the real deals!

>>134011532
IIRC he got them after trying to juice himself on too much Master Emerald juice. Which bit him in the ass and changed his fur color to green.

>>134011534

I just wanna know how Knux knows why he has to guard the Master Emerald (in game) because there are none of his kind left. Was there a note left behind? Where were his parents?

And speaking of emeralds, why doesn't Eggman/Robotnik just eat a shard of the Master Emerald instead of stealing it?

>>134011778
Looks like pissing off Sonic wasn't that good of an idea.
>>134011734

I still don't believe he and the Suppression Squad took over Moebius. They have no army. Eggman barely manages that.

>>134011801
Scourge dun goofed.

>>134011825
What's this? A copy and paste army for Shadow to shoot?

>>134011837

>>134011920
Sonic's accused of being a menace and he's not doing a good job proving he's not.

And that's it! It's been 10 years since the comic stopped so I doubt there will be more. And if you haven't checked out the other comic we did last thread, be sure to read Sonic Warriors Video Game Opening >>134005043

How does The End compare to the other gaggle of godly fuck ups?

>>134012654
Overall? Well, it boasts that it's superior to every other villain and god Sonic has ever faced (which isn't entirely unfounded, given at its peak it took four Super form equivslents plus the Chaos Emeralds themselves to just barely restrian at the cost of the Ancients entire civilization and their very souls. For comparison, it took three Super Forms to match Solaris), and Tails directly compares one of its attacks to Dark Gaia. It also managed to meticulously plan out the entire plot of Frontiers up to the very end without any hiccups beyond Sage developing an ego, so it's effectively on par with the likes of Mephiles and such in terms of overall intellect. Finally, it mentions that all of this is just a single incarnation of whatever it truly is, and that ultimately Sage and Sonic have done nothing but delay the inevitable.

>>134012697
Not to shitpost or anything but that really sounds like some Deviantart OC villain that's totally better than every other villain.

>>134010754
The art and dialog is a bit rough, but goddamn does it get Shadow and Sonic's chemistry.

>>134010872

>>134011646
Don't need gems when you got the infinite power source.

>>134012746
Sounds like it on paper, but in practice it's more The End just talking about its nature. You can consider it "villain talk" or boasting, but a lot of it is more or less The End just stating what it is.

>>134012869
Thank god they're all cheap fake emeralds.

>>134013421

What is it with Japanese video games and using flowery-but-broken writing?
I've read some (English) Japanese books and they're no different to anyone else's but their games are frequently impenetrable as though things like metaphors aren't the same in either language.

Poor Doctor just lost his eggs

Yo it has been a while since i checked here, i decided to do some justice to this drawing of mine and removed it's cutoff nature.
I'm currently still not planning on doing any comics as i still have other project to do, but the number of them are smaller (around 2 actually, or 1 to be more precise while the other is in a more perpetual state) afterwards i might start working back on comics potentially

DARK SONIC IS A STUPID CONCEPT AND IT SUCKS!

Sorry, it had to be said. Not even Dark Gaia could corrupt the mind of the Blue blur, he is too much of a good boi to ever turn be turned evil.

>>134016427
Please understand, it was the early to mid 2000’s. Evil superforms were the style of the time.

>>134016427
There is a way to make it work. The problem is that it's never used that long. It's just Sonic getting really angry and unless you stick with that, it's nothing more than a gimmick, even if you make it thematically relevant. That's probably why I wouldn't use it unless that was the focus of a story.

It's been since July but this comic updated again.

>>134017490
Not bad for his first giant mech.

A planet that destroys other planets. The End is just Sega's version of Unicron.

>>134016427
In fairness, Dark Gaia DID make him more feral and angry.

>>134017515
That's a pretty fancy Egg mech

>>134017784
Slender and with some thicc hips.

Probably going to be a short thread tonight.

>>134017557
By that logic, Hellstar Remina is also based off of Unicron.

The concept of a planet-devouring celestial monster/body is not new or limited only to Transformers. It's been a thing for a long while.

Super-Emeralds is leaving DA but at least they'll be active and still continuing the comic elsewhere. At least they have a dedicated twitter for The Heart of a Monster. It's not ideal but it's better than tumblr IMO. They say they'll delete their account at the end of the year.

https://twitter.com/sth_THoaM

>>134020931
>not even a Bunnie and Sally Tulpa
What's even the point?

>>134020935
What's the reason to leave DA? Isn't the current trend to leave twitter instead, right now?

>>134020973
>the reason? deviantart has been on a decline for YEARS. i've already wanted to leave when this stupid eclipse rolled in. however i stayed because this place is a very good gallery for art!
>however, this new AI bullshit and the fact every deviation of ours is automatically included in this thing....... the worst. absolutely horrible. if you don't want your art to be used in AI you need to opt out on every. single. post.
>do you know how many comic pages alone i have? do you know how much art i have on this site?

>>134020991
>DA by default allow for AI to rely on the arts of its user base
This thing was already on the decline, what were they thinking? To end themselves quickly?

>>134021019
Every decision they've made has made the site worse. Changes nobody wanted, taking away features, and it running worse than ever. Lots of spam and scams. There's really no good site for artists right now. It's best to just use everything or as much as possible.

>>134020931
Oof. Yeah, that would be it. Primary reason I stay away from Surge (or IDW threads in general) threads.

>>134021019
DA has been making shit decisions for years now. This is just one of the big killers.

>>134020991
Am I to assume this "AI Bullshit" is related to an AI Drawing thing? Because, that's incredibly asinine on DA's part. Drawing AI should be something artists opt into on their own terms on their own initiative, not at the behest of some strangers running the website that hosts them. And there's no way DA couldn't program the site to make it trivial to toggle on and off for all your deviations.

>>134021253
If it's free, you are not the client, you are the product.

The real lesson DA has forgotten is that you can repeatedly shave the same sheep, but you have to wait between shaving.

>>134020991
>you need to opt out on every. single. post.
I wonder how much DA is being paid... and for christ sake, who the hell is funnelling that much money into AI art? What the flip are the expecting to make off of what is in effect a service by pirates for pirates?

>>134021372
>who the hell is funnelling that much money into AI art?
Morally bankrupt corporations and rich entrepreneurs, mostly.

>>134021253
I searched for information on it, and found this
https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/A-New-Directive-for-Opting-Out-of-AI-Datasets-934500371

It seems third parties were already using deviantArt pictures in their AI data-sets. dA was never asked for permission about it. Since there's apparently some "noai"/"noimageai" flag that AI generators are supposed to respect, dA added it as an option for artists who wish to opt out of being used as training data. The site's intention was to fix a problem here.
However, apparently dA has shitty setting options, and you can't just click one simple checkbox to opt out of AI datasets. You have to manually set the option for each of your old uploads. If you've got hundreds of uploads, it's gonna be a pain in the ass.

>>134021569
Can't tell if incompetence or intentional.

Btw guys even if you click not to participate there is no guarantee it won't be used as part of an AI

Sasuga DA!

>>134021719
Why not both?

>>134020991
Okay, DA is being shit I get that, but why is Twitter being picked as the alternative ?

Isnt there any other decent website for art storage that isnt exclusively used for porn ?

>>134021719
>>134021903
Remember that memory leak issue the site had, that crashed your browser if you kept the tab open for too long ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeviantArt/comments/qiuok1/does_deviantart_have_a_memory_leak_issue/

>>134021931
Tumblr's usually a mess. Twitter can be too but if it's only being used for a comic then it's fine. It only gets bad when there's more retweets than anything else.

>>134021977
>Twitter can be too but if it's only being used for a comic then it's fine

Its not fine at all. It doesnt have an archive you can access besides searching for a keyword or hashtag the artist MIGHT have used in the tweets that contain the comic pages, or hoping it was stickied to the top of their tweets.

Even Tumblr at least has an archive option, and a more developed hashtag system.

>>134021931
The only other option is Tumblr. Twitter is terrible for the reasons >>134022053 outlined, DA seems to be determined to nuke itself into the ground, and everywhere else is either moderated to the point of uselessness or is just pure porn.

>>134021931
>Isnt there any other decent website for art storage that isnt exclusively used for porn ?
I've only heard of ArtStation and Pixiv. The former is for professional portfolios, or so I presume, though it looks like it's been polluted over the last few years. Pixiv is just for Japshit and is thus horrid to find out someone who isn't drawing Japshit is using it because that's the wrong website to be discovered on I'm afraid.

Your alternative alternative is to host your own like the good old days but I never have so don't know what inflatable price tag that comes with.

>>134021931
>Isnt there any other decent website for art storage that isnt exclusively used for porn ?
One could argue furrafinity isn't EXCLUSIVELY used for porn.

>>134022086
What about ... inkbunny ? I know people use it for porn, but it seems less nsfw compared to the other places.

>>134021931
if i can throw some for comics, There is Comic fury and neocities, both allow you to have your own webcomic themed stuff, but it is mostly for comics.

>>134022053
I checked the twitter. The pages are in a thread and any new pages are posted. There's nothing wrong with it because the artist is using it only for that. Trust me. I've been dealing with twitter and collecting comics long enough to know. They have other twitter accounts for other things.

You know, all this talk makes me wonder if Elon plans to capitalize this artist audience in the changes he wants to enact on twitter.

Now i kinda wish Smack Jeeves was still alive was there any reason to why the site got shutdown ?

>>134022200
Elan has nothing planned.

Drawloverlala is leaving DA too.
>yup, much like a lot of users right now, given the most recent news about their "Dream On" AI generated art thing, I'm choosing to leave Deviant art.
>It's honestly sad to leave this place, I started my online presence here, I started when I was 16 and look I'm now 27.. haha... it used to be such a comfortable place for artists to connect with each other.. but well.. there it will be and probably already are other sites with that potential out there. So for that I'm hopeful..

>>134022401
Oh and she's deleting everything as well.

>>134022401
Damn.

>>134022414
Well fuck. At least she has a tumblr.

>>134022120
Yeah, it's also used for unbought YCH spam.

>>134022180
With an organized artist like that any website becomes doable to store art. But I still see lots of artists there that just post everything in the same account, in random tweets, without using any hashtag.

>>134022414
>Oh and she's deleting everything as well.
For fuck sake, is it at least saved somewhere else ?

>>134022448
It's a case by case thing but at least with THoaM it won't be an issue.

>>134022401
I just hope she finish the brotherhood comic and actually post the pages on twitter or tumblr.

>>134022458
The desuarchive threads and I still have them myself. Aside from Brotherhood's Twist, which I have all the pages of, I got pretty much all her other stuff from tumblr. Unfortunately that's a mess to navigate and find everything, even though she uses tags she uses them on reblogs as well.

How many artists are gonna nuke their DeviantArt account bros...

>>134016427
>>134017640
Dark Gaia didn't do shit. The Werehog is just Sonic's puberty acting up. He's a late bloomer you see.

>>134022493
It'll be interesting to see when I eventually go around and check to see if any dormant comics became active again.

This guy is likely gonna leave Devian art as well
so for the love of god someone please save every page of the comic he has made
https://www.deviantart.com/sockles/gallery

>>134022251
>was there any reason to why the site got shutdown ?
Rich moron see webtoon
Rich Moron think he can be more rich by making a webtoon himself
Rich Moron don't even bother to make an other webtoon, just buy an already exiting webcomic hosting site
Rich moron try to turn it into webtoon in the most obtuse incompetent and forceful way with an interface made by someone who has been told what Webtoon is but has never seen it for himself
Everyone leave Smack Jeeves
Now Smack Jeeves is dead

Many such cases...

>>134022493
Probably a good chunk, barring the handful who don't care if their art gets used in AI data-training.

>>134022439
I mean, it's an hosting art website, that's to be expected of any place for people who take commission.

>>134022513
the closest alternative we have is comic fury or Newgrounds... which speaking of, i'm surprised not many of you recommended it.

>Decide yesterday to dust off my old DA account and post most of the illustrations I've done this year
>Open up Tumblr today to a post my friend reblogging detailing how DA is forcefully gonna input my shit into their new AI program and I have to opt out piece by piece
I should've seen this shit coming when the site wouldn't let me mass-upload/delete things to my gallery. Holy shit I am currently the biggest clown ITT, and it was purely by terrible timing.

Lesson learned, Tumblr is the only place I'll post shit from now on.

And now DA crashed.

>>134022559
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What's going on? QRD on DA?

>>134022557
They are apperently adding a unnallow all button in the future.

Dark Gaia gave a curse to devian art now the site has became more broken than ever

I look like DA has just shut down their whole website to prevent their user's exodus.
They might have just realised how much they just fucked up.

>>134022594
>Something's gone wrong
Yeah...

>>134022598
Damn you, Dark Gaia!

It's back for now. I guess I should start saving all the comics I have bookmarked. Later.

>>134022548
You know Comic Genesis (formerly Keenspace) is still a thing too, right?

>>134022594
>>134022603
latin american here, i can use the site just fine

>>134022636
I didn't know that actually.

>>134022531
Honestly wish they just accepted that's how life is and made a separate list for commission spam so if you wanted to browse or view the latest, you could at least hope the artists self censor to make it easier for you.
At best it'll make the artists better at getting commissions and thus like the site more and maybe support it more.

>>134022580
DA implemented some AI program for artwork generation, and its using their users stuff for input without their explicit permission.

>>134022557
Tumblr coming back in relevance by being the only social media to not completely shit the bed somehow is not the development I had seen coming. And yet I am not that surprised.

>>134022594
Brit, can access just fine.

>>134022697
They even brought back lewds over there. Which is a first for these major sites who nuke their audience's stuff on a dime.

>>134022721
Nudity is fine but porn is not.

>>134022718
It was done for a few minutes but came back up.

They have come to some level of sense, but I feel the damage is already done:
https://twitter.com/DeviantArt/status/1591176847379030018

>>134022800
Ony now they fixed this ?

Also, why the fuck did /co/ moderators delete the DA thread ? It is about artwork, including comics.

>>134022800
>DeviantArt did not and will not use deviations submitted to DeviantArt to add to third-party AI models or training sets, or on DreamUp itself.
So what was it used in then if it has to be opted out?

>>134022697
I guess in the long run having the website cost Verizon who knows how many millions of dollars worked in its benefit.

The site stays up mostly from their merch and from basic services such as an ad-free subscription. However they also have more completely insane shit like paying to make any of your posts pop up in complete stranger's feeds, sending someone you follow a crab button to spawn crab emojis that fill up their screen, and recently an ability to purchase two Twitter checkmarks that do absolutely nothing, and you can continue to stack up to 24 IIRC.

Shit's wild and I definitely didn't expect it to become relevant again, either. People are having to "fire shots to lower rent" in order to gatekeep Twitter, which is fucking hilarious.

>>134022800
That helps a little but people there are pointing out that it should be checked by default and doesn't help people who can't or won't revisit their accounts.

>>134022829
Because a twitter thread died for it.

Looks like we're not out of the woodworks just yet

>>134022697
Mostly because they already shat the bed in the past, they just have enough wherewithal to change the sheets.

>>134022928
What the fuck are they doing ? If its sabotage, what other fucking art platform are they trying to promote ?

>>134022800
Maybe this will convince drawlover to not delete her shit ?

>>134022953
Probably tried to capitalize on all the art there that belongs to deceased/missing artists. How convenient the default for an account is that they're already opted-into the AI database.

>>134022987
Eggman no, she's your daughter

>>134022697
Tumblr is still iffy with the porn issue, "we are allowing nipples" is their stance, sex is out, so artist still don't want to post there aparently, i don't know if this is going to be the thing that will make them go there

Meanwhile the furry art sites keep on going as usual because they always embraced degeneracy. Some more than others.

>>134023080
Can you imagine a furry site that said "No, we are not allowing porn anymore"?

>>134023107
Well it wouldn't take long before replacement arrived.

>>134022548
Hows Newgrounds for art storage ? I know they allow porn, but I never explored much outside of games in that website.

I also found out my lurking account I made in DA cant post comments for some reason. None of them show up

>>134023117
Twitter took some of those porn users.

>>134023119
Newgrounds is good. They're not some lawless place but they allow a lot of stuff. The only problem is that searching and browsing is ass.

>>134023107
That basically what DA is. it technically allow for "classy nudity". There might be other reason, but it's basically why Furaffinity exist in the first place and why it looked for so long like a clone of Deviantart. It was used to host all the more raunchy art popular artists couldn't put on DA without being sanctioned.

>>134023119
Slighty iffy but functional.

>>134023143
You say that but DA has tons of fetish art, normal nudity, bondage, latex stuff, even has those diaper arts that everyone despises. Whats the threshold for DA then ?

What's happening with deviantart?

>>134023143
>>134023206
DA has fucking Colour of Chaos on it and literally had Chaos itself on it. Its standards are basically just "so long as you don't visibly promote it as porn, we will do nothing".

>>134023206
You can't have nudity of underage characters, even if they're aged up. There's plenty of art that proves that wrong but all it takes is someone to report that art and a mod will do so. Can't have erect penises, they have to be flaccid. No sex and definitely no genitals. Popular artists have left DA because their stuff gets reported and deleted. IIRC Sejic had that problem, said he was leaving DA but after a while he came back.

>>134023227
Site’s going full retard

>>134023227
They literally just today announced they were developing an AI art program for Core users that draws in data from most, if not all galleries in the website.

Accounts are opted-in by default, and originally to opt-out your entire gallery you had to submit a form that, according to DA, would take up to 10 business days to enter into effect.

>>134023206
>>134023243
>"so long as you don't visibly promote it as porn, we will do nothing".
Yes, that was my point in reply to >>134023107
>Can you imagine a furry site that said "No, we are not allowing porn anymore"?

>>134023266
>>134023257
really? Fuck. I post my art there and didnt know until now lol. Thats so fucking dumb.

>>134022982
>deceased/missing artists
That's not the reason for the opt in.
Every service ever that you are the product of is an opt out.
>hey want to use Amazon Prime? That's okay I automatically put you in for the trial...

>hi, this website has... 500 cookies... all for you! They're really important, for stuff, and things, that's why the option to reject them is really small, on another page and doesn't look like it's a button... if we even gave you the option

>>134023284
>I post my art there and didnt know until now lol.
To be fair, it's something they only announced today.

>>134023399

Data/tracking/youaretheproduct.

Originally for letting you remain logged into websites and tracking session based things like digital shopping carts/trolleys so when you pay for it, the website hasn't forgotten what YOU are buying.
Unfortunately most nowadays are about tracking what everyone is doing. For individuals it's supposed to be meaningless but being able to see what a lot of people are doing is worth knowing for certain businesses.

>>134024208
Reminder, Data tracking require 3rd party cookies that firefox allow you to block.

they also rely on link trackers (additional text added to your links when you click them that allow them to see what websites you visited) that can also be filtered:

>>134024411
Simplest terms: you are tracked.
They know your clothing website of choice, they know your furniture website of choice, they know your adult toy website of choice, and when you visit and in what order you visit.
They can adjust how a service presents itself to you (targeted advertising) and even ban you (common usage is news articles that only allow limited views until demanding you to pay to read).

Why does this matter? You are tracked. Your history is an open book. Your future is going to be an open book. You are tracked.
