Google-Analytics and Facebook Script running on Steemit.com

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Why does Steemit have scripts running on the site from Google-Analytics and Facebook? This seems counter to the premise of Steemit. I run No-Script by default and never enable scripts unless it actually affects me using a site. I have never ran across a case where I need to enable scripts from Google-Analytics and only the scripts on Facebook the very very rare times I am on a site run by them.

It seems counter intuitive to me for sites that profess privacy and they enable the biggest vacuums of personal data to run scripts. I expect this for the MSM sites but why on Steemit?
