I dont want any analytics about the behavior of anyone on my site. I wont be making this website with any purpose other than writing down what comes to my mind. <br><br>I dont know, I get offended by ads and this constant focus on monetization of the human soul. I&#8217;m old enough to remember when websites were actually authentic by nature! They were ugly, but they were authentic!
