I don't default to unkind mode on every topic. Perhaps I phrased the comment too negatively here however. Note though that as a later comment pointed out, they claim to have "no tracking or analytics," so clearly this was a mistake on their part. A commitment to no tracking is also something I would expect from a site like this making the claims they are making. So clearly my criticism itself was well placed, even if the delivery was too harsh. Also, I would think they would at least check to see what embedding a youtube video does before doing it. And I do think embedding the youtube video is strange even ignoring the tracking for a site that describes itself as "small." Is it really small if you have a massive iframe embedded in it?

compare, perhaps, the adjacent thread that had comments like "I got that complaint about my blog too, and here's how I fixed it" and a bunch of other things that seemed plausible and helpful? (I don't know if 100r will make those changes, but I'm certainly going to look at them for some of my own youtube links...)
