There is a difference between acknowledging publicly who you are and doxxing, which I consider to be publicly releasing your phone number and physical address (at least).

Probably because there isn’t a good free analytics service that is easy to use (no need for self-hosting) and is able to collect the info that one wants. GA is free, and easy.

That’s a fair point! I would have to read HN’s terms of use though. Not sure if that’s allowed or not. I felt good scrapping the comments section since everyone there “opted in “ to share their website to the broader community.
You can take it as read that people who write blog posts do that to share them with the broader community. Could one of you downvoters please explain why you think people would post blog posts if they do not want to share them? I fail to see how that would be possible.

Interesting to see the high numbers for GA. A bit of ‘do as I say, not as I do’ going on?
Every time I see a privacy outrage thread over here I think about how many readers/commenters on this site work for advertising/tracking companies or companies whose products include tracking code. (Full disclosure: I don’t.)
Or did I miss something?
I had a chuckle. This is how so much data analysis happens in practice. Nothing like the command line for quickly cleaning some data.
Great work!
