Plus pressure from a half dozen lobbyists, I'm sure.

I think this is a solid point. Google Analytics is a killer tool for website admins, and using _some_ kind of enhanced logging/parsing tool like this saves a ton of time over building your own solution or manually reviewing logs.

That said, I am still quite opposed to js that tracks users across the internet for advertisement purposes. I do use ad blockers despite the fact they block a lot of less-harmful tracking by default, which I don't love, but it's too much work to differentiate between. (At least adblock users are the minority of internet users in general, so hopefully Analytics users still get enough data to be helpful for their purposes.)

My internet addiction was at least 90% as bad even when I only had dial-up. Unfortunately, tabs make the latency thing an ineffective deterrent.

(In the dial-up days, before tabs, my workaround was to have 20 IE windows open.)

I used to like this guy, and his factual information is usually interesting, but he sometimes expresses opinions that downright infuriate me, to the point I had to stop listening.

These have always impressed me. Was surprised the first time when I learned it's actually really simply machinery that solved an important problem. (Albeit a problem I had never even considered. Gotta be able to aim at what you can see!)

I'm counting down the days until Teams has fully integrated all of the Skype for Business features so that they can finally shut the POS down. It is, indeed, the absolute worst.

It's possible, but I think it's a stretch to say it "wouldn't be difficult."

Well, sort of. It's limited to 5 contributors, which is kind of a big deal if you're on a serious team.
