"stalk_time" makes me feel very uncomfortable. Names matter.

  If it said "wash_time", then would you feel clean?

  The original name of the feature actually was "stalkers" — that's how it was presented to users before 2010 or so. The site had a lot of dark humor then. The word "stalk" also works as a clarifying synonym for "visit" in the code because "visit" could refer e.g. to the user's visit to the site itself.

    The payload for the visitor API payload was an object containing an array whose key was `stalkers`, so still the same!
