Wow. "Ghostly found 24 trackers." Holy shitballs. Well, maybe that's why I can't see any content.

WOW. "Ghostly found 38 trackers."

I'm not sure I believe their numbers. They think Los Angeles is going to go up 3 million despite a declining birthrate and net negative population growth.

Disconnect found 34 and µBlock found 20. In a backwards kind of way, it makes sense that The Economist of all magazines sells your data so much.

I have to agree, the predictions aren't great. For Europe they predict almost every city to grow 5-10% even though most of Europe's fertility has fallen below replacement rates:

My guess is that they haven't heard of the Second Demographic Transition and assumed that the world's growth would happen almost everywhere.
