I started back in the '00s with server-side stat tools like AWStats and never learned anything new from checking them. Why would I keep wasting time? My subjective experience tells me they're useless for me, and this is a common enough experience.

That doesn't mean everyone will have the same experience, but it does mean most people probably don't need to feed into Google's ability to track everyone just to look at their stats and say "yep, that's where I'd expect a person to come from."

If knowing where your traffic comes from and what it does on your site has no value to you then I'm not going to try and convince you otherwise. You can try and ask your users who either won't respond to you or potentially give you incorrect or misleading responses, if you want analytics, you know, in order to make business decisions.

Your website has GA4 installed on it, you might want to remove that.

That's put there by the platform. I don't have access or interest.
