Yes, I know, analytics (especially outsourced analytics) are fundamentally evil.

Just like paywalls are evil. And just like ads are evil.

But, I'm not exactly clear on how these things are supposed to all fit together.

I don’t like paywalls, but in what way are they evil? To be specific, a paywall in front of privately funded content is annoying but fair. Elsevier-style paywalls are another matter.
