> I call complaining in others about something that you do yourself on an often much larger scale hypocrisy.

The assumption that everyone complaining about this works in adtech or even does A/B testing is ridiculous. HN has a very strong contingent of people who are antagonistic to that entire field so making such a generalization is absolutely false.

I would point out that A/B testing minor changes without consent is a little creepy, deceiving your users in the process (by say changing pricing measure on them) makes it far more creepy. If you add bogus legal intimidation (or other language designed to elicit a strong emotional response) to that, it becomes creepy on a whole different scale.
