The amount of redundancy on that list is hurting the point you’re trying to make.

In terms of tracking double/quadruple etc counting the same company isn’t meaningful. So, once you start noticing it the list seems significantly shorter than it actually is (2. amazon-adsystem.com vs 4. c.amazon-adsystem.com). Worse, 5 of them are the same domain with www. in front (12. google.com and 32. www.google.com) which most people subconsciously see as the same thing.

Therefore, a slightly curated list comes off as more impactful:

1 amazon-adsystem.com 2 concert.io 3 coralproject.net 4 d35xxde4fgg0cx.cloudfront.net 5 google.com 6 memberful.com 7 moatads.com 8 narrativ.com 9 parsely.com 10 polyfill.io 11 rubiconproject.com 12 sail-horizon.com 13 sentry.io 14 vox-cdn.com 15 z.moatads.com

PS: I mean Google representing 10 domains on your list does say something, but it’s only tangential to tracking.
