What happens when every time your browser sends data to a tracker it makes a beep sound?

Watching the counter on uBlock Origin skyrocket on any google or meta page is the same feeling.
My uBlock Origin is showing 73 blocks on THIS PAGE here on lemmy after allowing the scripts to play the video. Without the video, only 1.
0 on mbin, even after playing the video.
The video is a link from a mastodon instance (masto.host). So they use trackers here?
Mine sits at 3.5 million and this isn't even that old of a setup.
I built this computer just under 3 months ago and I'm at 5.26M.
I've been using ublock on the same browser for over a year now and I'm only at 2.3M. What kind of sites are you guys on?
Probably majority piracy sites because considering my habits I hit a combined count of a 1 year old desktop browser + 1½ year old mobile browser 993k in total. And I am online for an unhealthy amount already.
Might be related, but even youtube, after 8 minutes of video that tab has 90 blocks.
8? My subsciption tab is about 2h open and collected 619 blocks. Ridiculous.
It went up by 2 while typing that comment!
Where are you all browsing? My PC is about 1 year old and in all it's lifetimeshas seen 700k blocks.
Now mind you I am browsing a fair bit mobile and watch YT on my TV but even with mobile firefox + ublock combined it's 993k in total.
there should be an ublock origin plugin that beeps every time
