@TopHatExtraordinaire@programming.dev @Fitik@fedia.io I believe it's just about attribution.
The advertiser gets to know that placing ads on <some domain> worked better than placing them on <some other domain> or even that one ad worked better than another on the same domain.
The assertion is that advertisers don't need to track people, they just need to know if the ads are worth paying for or not....
@pwshguy I didn't give them a bio, so they just said what they know 😉
I haven't seen a #PowerShell #Podcast account in the fediverse, but I talked to them anyway 😉
Joel Bennett @fosstodon.org I ❤️ OpenSource, Scripting, PowerShell, Python, dotnet, VSCode. I'm a Principal DevOps Engineer, and a 14x Microsoft MVP for PowerShell.
I also care about fairness and justice, which has combined with my career to lead to my interest in open source, open culture, encryption and federation.
Call me he/him, and think of me as a Luke 18:27 believer: a Jesus follower who cares about social justice, urban renewal, and open culture.
