Now yes, I could go with other solutions, but they all take extra admin and support time, whereas Google Analytics is hosted for you (and importantly: free) and is an industry standard. Plus, when shopping around for better ad networks to replace adsense (coze it kinda sucks) - other ad networks like to see proper traffic details.
So yeah, sometime soon it will be coming, just a heads up on it.

Just kidding!
I don't blame Liam for going with the option that works best. It's his livelyhood that's on the line here, after all.
But I won't pretend to be happy with it.
If there was a better way, I would be all ears, but the internet is still just mostly run on adverts, the Patreon simply isn't even close to enough by itself.

I use this for my business. There are two ways you can use it:
- Pay monthly and use it like any other service (they host it).
- Self-host it (comes in a docker container) and pay nothing. (I use this method)
It's fully open source, so it feels more 'ethically' right (to me).
But, I do understand the position you're in and it may be much easier and faster to simply use G-Ticks in this case.

It's like in UE Google Analytics is pretty much illegal due to GDPR.
We just continue, as a whole, to feed Google etc...
