#23You all are comfortable just enabling your camera for some random site so it can capture your face?
This site wants to share your cookies to at least 662 “venders” and they are being dishonest with the “legitimate interest” scam. The creator clearly does not care about nor respect their users/visitors.

Why worry? It only captures the eyes.

As much as I enjoy neal's little games, I'm not going to be trying this one, unfortunately.
Perhaps that's an idea for a next game: match people by "how much info are you willing to provide".
Present options to pick a username, email, social media, live text, live audio stream, live video, health data from a smart watch, teenage diary, ...
It already works in some way; e.g. even if one person has both a HN account and a Snapchat account, they would use these to talk to different people.

It's so wild to me that people tolerate this. I just close the tab or 'reader' whenever I see that type of thing, but I know very few others who do the same.
