Thank you for your opinion!

Regarding it being creepy—I'm not sure how I see it myself.

In a way it's a lot more creepier that advertising companies know your tastes and have a shitload of info about you--sometimes more than you do.

At the end of the day we only track the HTML the site owner provides in the first place, and stuff like mouse movements within the page, without it ever being recorded.

On the other hand, I agree that the fact that you "see" the page being used and not just collect metadata could be deemed very creepy.
