Do they predict what percentage of trackers this continuous coke-filled click-fest will actually disable?

They did not, because the number wasn't estimated by adding up predicted time per tracker or service, but by determining this is about the maximum the market can bear - i.e. a steady state of the system.

Curiously, Stratfor also predicted 60% chance of the US going to war with the EU before 2036, due to EU privacy regulation threatening to shut down the increasingly adtech-based US economy.

This serious analysis is stupider than the entire plot of Idiocracy.
