If you hadn’t written that post using AI, it might’ve received more attention. Also, (1) if you’d put LinkedIn in the title, rather than the very bottom of the post, and (2) if you’d provided any insight, rather than just speculation, as to what the data might be being used for.

I have written something about Linkedin although not, about browser fingerprinting but certainly somewhat of an extremely bad experience with Linkedin.

Not sure if this counts but my post was actually sandwiched between two large Linkedin posts (the 2 tabs = 8 gb and now this) within the timing [0]

I always write things myself, even if they might take hours.

But I also believe that my post had overlapped with larger things of AI (OpenAI getting funded, Claude being leaked), I have seen some cool projects lately on Hackernews which aren't getting attention as all of that attention gets redirected to AI related news.

[0]: to be honest, I write things for myself firstly and I just upload them here for discussion related purposes, I am perfectly fine with my posts not reaching traction, because, I try to/wish to write for myself first and foremost :), Also within that Linkedin incident, In that case I just wrote things to get it off my chest really.

Thank you for that post, it describes the invasion of privacy at a deeper level. I must have missed it but YCombinator is filled with people with a vested interest in keeping the clown show going.
