Advertisers are the cause of DNT's failure, not Microsoft.

It's always both, the people willing to pay someone to make things worse, and the people willing to take the money to do it.

I mean I agree, I'm against advertisers.

But advertisers exist and will continue to exist, and have no incentive to follow this. I don't think either are at fault necessarily; I think it was a weak attempt all around.

The only thing that will get companies to comply are a/ laws (and so far all laws have done is annoy end users) b/ browsers doing more to block tracking (which is almost impossible; this will forever be a game of cat-and-mouse).
