> And if this metaphor seems a little obscure, this is why it is irresponsible, populist and ultimately self-defeating for uBlock and chums to block self-hosted Piwik and other such internal analytics tools. Because some of us are trying to do the right thing and your bouncers are still beating us up.
Honestly, we only need a statistically significant sample for a few buckets...so unless uBlock and chums hit ~85% none of this effects me. The same is true for virtually every "good actor" in the space.
You just need to be able to run an A/B test that is statistically accurate + analytics + RUM.
Ad blocking is a reasonable proxy for tracking blocking since they usually go hand in hand. [e.g. uBlock]
Real world, I see ~35% block rates at $DayJob. I don't care about that at all and I'm amazed any "good actor" would given 65% of the population is more than enough for as many statistically accurate samples as you'd need.
So when you say "you are doing the right thing", what isn't included in the above?
