For our podcast we specifically set up Plausible to exclude Google
analytics. Rather little of value to be gained or lost either way, but
it's a matter of conscience and politeness to our users. Sadly we
had to put in links to other big-tech application platforms, but those
are links to click out of choice if you're a user of those services.
This is always the problem when interacting with the corporate internet. I have a Shopify store on my website where my readers can buy mugs and t-shirts to support me(not that anyone is lol). Lord knows what goes on in there.
I hope someone reinvents the services we take for granted with a focus on privacy.
