If I’ve learned anything about the corporate world is that they only want metrics that confirm the views they hold or want to push. I think you have a point though. These are metrics that they can reference when trying to get advertising money. If I was an advertiser I’d care more about how many are not bots though.

For a lot of us we can’t simply leave. And if we can, it could still take years for visas. If we are lucky it will be short, but I’m not too optimistic.
