That’s always been the argument, but in the end, everyone wants to know how many visitors they have. I know, there are trackless solutions, but you have to admit the reality: The audience of website administrators who want to use non-tracking analytics is a subset of the audience for recompilation of kernels on Arch Linux.
Also I’m quite sure your website is not ranked as high on Google if you don’t use GA.

- wongarsu 2y agoHN seems pretty in love with plausible.io every time it's mentioned. It's pretty minimalist, but we never had an issue with it not tracking something we actually cared about. The real issue is ad tracking. If you either show ads or buy ads that lead to your website you are basically forced to add tracking cookies.
- viraptor 2y ago> everyone wants to know how many visitors they have Actually we already know that if you want to know how many visitors you have, GA will strongly underestimate, especially with tech literate audience. You may want the log parsing instead. Even if you want the JS-based solution, you can do it first party, without the need for GA. > I’m quite sure your website is not ranked as high on Google if you don’t use GA. Sure enough to quote a source? There lots of high ranking pages, using non-GA solutions.
