Just wanting to put this out there, please allow us to either see EVERYONES GAC History or NO ONES GAC History. Having it be based on you being registered to the site is a HUGE detractor from having an account. Letting others be able to see my history but I cannot see theirs is a bit unfair...

It is extremely unfair. But apparently there the terrible quality control disease has infected GG. They apparently don't care. Won't answer on Reddit. And don't listen to anyone coming in with the "oh hardly anyone doesn't have a GG account so quit crying" trope because as of now in P2 only 40% of my opponents have had an account.
It's only a matter of time before people figure it out and I'm doing my best to create enough awareness that this will eventually affect everyone (people don't care until it happens to them) and then maybe something will get done.
GG has little incentive to change it unless this causes some sort of mass exodus and their ad revenue plunges and I honestly don't see that happening.

Ya, it's not just on phones.

I do use adblocker. This was just a screenshot I took a few months ago after disabling it when I read about other people complaining about the ads on gg. In that same thread gg did state they were trying to improve the situation.

False. The fact that they just created an incentive to not be connected to GG is, precisely, an incentive to fix this major, major gaff.
I have no idea what gg's run rate is for new members or members deleting their accounts, but I'm sure if they saw a drastic change they would try to identify the reason for it. If that reason turned out to be gac history availability, then yes they might change it. Outside of that, I don't see they have a reason to change it unless of course CG tells them to change it.

Well, fortunately for them deleting your account doesn't delete your GAC history so they made it make no difference if you delete your account or not. The only difference is you lose access to the tools, but still boof'd on GAC.
Not sure, but that thread with hotsauce is from back in September, so a lot may have changed since then as I do believe he said he wanted to provide the same functionality as gg currently provides.

Plus the number of players who aren't registered on GG who are looking up their opponents on GG most likely outweighs the number of people who deleted their gg account...
Also people who deleted their GG account will still go to GG to scout their opponents so overall is a win for GG even if they change nothing.
gg traffic has increased even if #number of registered players has gone down.
Yeah, I actually think they intentually slow-time the loading of ads so you misclick onto them.
if someone wants to go through that trouble to beat me, more power to them.
All the trouble of a 3 second google search....
Uh ok.
I beleive most people think a google search isnt much trouble to go through to see what their opponent has set on defense in the past vs others...maybe I'm wrong and it's a huge ordeal to type 3 words into Google.
