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

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").

The more #youtube campaign performance data I see, the more I get the feeling that youtube is a glorified #Bots farm. 8 Mio Impressions (99 % of them got a "video view", over 75% "quality views", ca 10k clicks, but a Consent Decision Rate of 0.66%! => only 1 in > 150 users is real(ly interested)..

You remove some 10's of thousands of Bots after some serious analysis and reprocessing. Now somebody seriously complains that their report suddenly shows less Visits, and that we should not retroactively filter out Bots from reports anymore... 😆
