@justamoment@twtxt.net hmm…
Talking about Web sites, 20 years ago I used Web counters, then Google Analytics, FB Pixel, and many other indie stats systems. I think I had the Apache stats, then WordPress and such, but I wasn’t excited by stats dashboards TBH.
Now I think visits are vanity metrics, even for commercial sites, so I rely more on interactions, emails received, replies, and such.
On https://text.eapl.mx I have nothing. No comments section, and no analytics whatsoever. I received a message every 1-2 months, and I think I had a few replies on Gemini (it’s difficult to track, and I forgot to add the link in the article)
In my ‘personal’ podcast I have no stats, it’s a handmade Atom file.
For the remaining podcasts hosted on YouTube and Anchor, I have from 20 plays/views up to 9k for some specific topics (mostly design ones disguised as rants). And I think 120 subscribers.
