I have to say I don't like that this is in the starter kit because it’s something we usually don't want to give a client unless they ask.

Also, just as a note, this deviates from the Ad Council pattern so we'd remove it from the starter kit before adding it to a new Ad Council site: https://www.notion.so/viget/ADC-Code-Blocks-pattern-12d6c4ac83fe80c6aa5ae9335dd8ddfc?pvs=4

@maxfenton I don't believe the platform team has an official stance on global scripts. Each dev on the team probably has their own unique perspective.

I agree that there are lots of downsides to performance and page stability (clients forgetting to close a tag, etc).

But, when I weigh the tradeoffs, I tend to be in favor of giving clients more control and self sufficiency.

Here are some of the thoughts that bring me to that conclusion:

• 9 times out of 10, clients ask for this feature anyway
• Clients pay a lot for their sites. If they don't ask for this feature during development, it a poor customer experience to pay $200/hr for support work (or even worse, want to add a script after the support contract is over).
• If we put Tag Manger on the site, they can stuff that full of scripts (and usually do).
  • But, inevitably there are scripts that clients need/want to load immediately (like A/B testing services)

It could be that your client experiences have been different than mine... (I've been on MW for a looong time, and they're certainly a unique client)

That Ad Council block pattern is cool... I especially like the ability to add notes about a script. I'd be interested in using that pattern in the site starter (although I do like how little code is needed for a text field + raw).
