So many links here shared with UTM's which the majority are obviously being used by marketing folks to push their propaganda.

Is there a reason whey poal doesn't ban UTM's in the shared links? I imagine it would ruffle the feathers of a lot of the marketers here who get paid off these stats.

lol I only sent you a friendly reminder about Poal SPAM rules because you've been inactive for months and suddenly started posting links exclusively to your website.

Better yet, pollute their data by inserting random UTMs for every click.

lmao, that's funny but a pain in the ass as most people don't even know what UTMs are.

Some websites are refusing to load content if you remove query parameters in their url.

That's why we try to provide an archived link (in the post content) along with the source.

really? i've never come across a link I wasn't able to remove the UTMs from, at least I don't think that is the case.

Archiving links doesn't only prevent them from tracking you, but also doesn't give them traffic.

yes, i get that about archival - i'm talking about sharing direct links here on the site.

it's how the marketing companies track their performance for their handling agencies. simply doing this one trick IMO would put a massive chink in the armor of these marketers. why would they want to push propaganda if they aren't getting paid?
