Overview
The web is a casino
Google Analytics, Facebook, and advertisers are tracking *everything* you do. Jackpot makes casino sounds every time someone tracks you online. The Web is like a casino. It’s a dark room, and you have no idea what time it is. Hours pass like minutes, and shady figures follow your every move along the garish carpeting.

Turn off your ad blocker for the full effect. Jackpot! GitHub: https://github.com/tashian/jackpot
