Hey @Linode why do you have so many ad trackers on your *login* domain? Of all places that's where you want to use as little 3rd party JS as possible!

Visiting login.linode.com loads trackers from Facebook, Doubleclick, Impact Radius, Oktopost, Linkedin, Google Ads, Bing

  I lodged the same concerns to @linode in a support ticket. DigitalOcean is even worse. I have a few services at DO and decided to move to Linode for that reason. Only to discover Linode also crossed over to the dark side.

  Thanks. That’s what I’ve heard from other customers too—great service and value. And everyone without exception recommend it.

  It's very strange. I've been using them for 10+ years and have been extremely happy with the service, so this is confusing to me.

  That’s surprising and concerning. Was considering it for a website (due to its attractive pricing)...

  @aaronpk My understanding is that's a legacy subdomain and they want people to log in via cloud.linode.com now?
