- nickpp 8y ago1) You do realize those sites are pretty much 99% of the web, right? 2) Those sites used GA to statistically analyse and understand their user base, in order to better serve them. How do you propose to do it instead? How to find out what was a bad redesign? A bad landing page? How to understand a conversion ratio? The churn?
- nfoz 8y ago1) 99% of websites are secretly sharing their users' identification and browsing habits with a single multinational advertising company. Yeah, let's shut that down as emphatically as possible. 2) You can write a book without tracking my every page-flip. You can write a desktop app without phoning-home and tracking my usage. You can operate a store without secretly selling my shopping habits and purchase information to other companies behind my back. Do something honest, or don't do it at all.
- nickpp 8y agoHave YOU done it or are you talking from your imagination? Analytics and statistics are in every modern developer's tool belt. Because they ultimately benefit users.
