Can you explain what is worse about link tracking? If you're explicitly making a request to a remote service, how would you expect it to not be tracked?
2. The link now goes to a marketing.newsletter.com instead of example.com/original-story, which gives me a better signal of the quality of the citation. Wouldn't you hate it if every wikipedia citation went to bit.ly instead?
3. My "intent" is to read the information behind the original link, if I can't do that without being tracked by a the sender of the email - I'm less likely to click the link.
4. Email isn't meant to be tracked! Clicking on a link in an email I got should not notify the sender, in any way whatsover. If this is true for my personal emails, why is it not true for company emails?
