Ok, I'll go real slow and beat the horse one more time, the horse that others already had pummeled to death well and good. You paying attention? Ok, here goes.
Because DNT is a moronic "evil bit". Bothering with it at all is like mice wondering about wearing a "don't eat me" sign so that cats won't eat them. It's a quack "medicine" that promises you bogus immunity.
The best thing to do, the only thing, is to ignore it.
We care that they care. If they choose to ignore DNT due to Microsoft's actions (or rather, probably deliberate attempt to make the feature ignored) we do care. We prefer that the ad networks honor DNT, and they might, if it's not turned on by default. It's that simple.
Is it that you're a moron? Or that you're a shill? Which is it?
If you actually try to find some info by googling, chances are you're shown only pages of spam sites like fixya, livestrong, about, and other bullshit-seo sites.
Time is ripe for somebody else to step up in search business.
Apple is replaying their history during 90s.
It's eerie, really. Soon after Macs began its success, MS sold their graphical OS through just about all hardware makers, Apple sued and lost, and Jobs's got ousted, and Apple shriveled up. Just replace "ousted" with "died" and MS/Windows with Google/Android.
They're gonna get their ass sued.
BTW, Google search deteriorated so bad now I'm using Bing, way too many spam sites like "fixya", "answer", and other slimebags.
Google, get your core business straight.
Great writeup with the links.
