Privacy.

You're not getting those metrics from other products like Ghostery, uBlock.

Also, browsers built for privacy are not showing up as metrics either.

I think generally analytics are incredibly helpful, but they've been abused. There should not be a way that individual users show be able to be identified by their browser analytics.

While working on this project that amount of data that I've seen collected on individuals is terrifying.

Perhaps you could use some other metric for success? Like adding the ability to "like" an article, or share? I know some individuals add the ability to click a button to "Continue Article" or something to track engagement.
