And that's because?


No matter what website you visit, yahoo.com, bankofamerica, doordash,

If that were the case, knowing the audience, keeping statistics would be 
pretty much useless. The number of F::Q users that would opt-in would be 
an extremely small sampling. That would make it useless for its intended 
purpose.
