They're still tracking the crap out of you even if you pay, so they can fuck right off and die in the gutter.

uBlock Origin only shows Chartbeat and Quantcast as trackers on The Atlantic's website, so I'm gonna say you're talking out of your ass.

"They" in this case refers to media sites in general not limited to this specific one. And pretty much everone still track user behavior to do profiling on their paid users.
