Digital Analytics, and more and more politics... :seenoevil:

In a time of agents, #AdobeAnalytics in the last 2 months disabled several important APIs: 1. API 1.4 and many important functions: Editing Variables, Retrieving DWH Reports, Marketing Channels etc. (no replacement) 2. Now, the unofficial, but working Scheduled Projects endpoint is gone for good.

IT won't budge, so client asks u to implement a 3rd-party solution. U have governance concerns with that (untestable black-box) solution. Analytics vendor comes up with wild workaround for a compromise. When all is finally ready, vendor tells u they have now decided to cut ties with the 3rd party.😆💩

You run a large display campaign on a popular chat application in Eastern Asia. Your Analytics team tells you: It's all #Bots, so you've spent a lot of money on nothing. What do you do? You run a similar campaign a few months later... 😭

#Adobe, the maker of the "Experience Platform", has offered an increasingly desastrous experience when it comes to localization, especially in their (Microsoft-Dynamics-based, that explains a lot) Support Portal. I am sick of it. And they don't respect user preferences: I set my language to English.

Bug when copying Tags in #Piwik Pro Tag Manager from Site to Site: If the Tag contains a variable with e.g. name "V1" in the destination Site already, you will see variable "V1" inside the newly created tag, but it will actually reference "V1 (copy)" (which u can see through the "relationships").
