need is a strong word. Do I need the entire site - no. The mentality was more like "oh haha joke site?.... I wonder how many people are actually looking at the site and from where.. man I wonder if there is a solution for that... oh right google analytics."

And I wonder if it's possible to make a 2 dollar website without tracking your users or reporting to google.
I expect most people who dabble with technology use an adblocker anyway which blocks requests to google analytics.
I wouldn't mind a self hosted analytics solution, but with all the captchas and the mails, I feel we give google enough information as it is.
wellllllllll when you make a website as a joke you can choose which if any analytics solution you want. And deal with the critics that use analytic blockers to complain about your analytics solution.
