Btw, detecting scrolling is as simple as detecting how many view a video have or how many times a webpage is visited. Don't need to be like "Oh, no! We got hacked! We have no more privacy. Blablabla". That just stupid man. Can't believe people still amused by simple tech.

                  They are counting the number of times we scroll onto our phones? So does that mean that there is a hacker in our phones?

                      Growing up I recall the day I learned 'kilimetrico' (eek- spelling) pens had a kilometre of ink.

                      And crazy stuff like the distance our organs stretch out to be etc...
