Two HN marketing powered companies fighting against each other.
Cloudflare Analytics is server side, we all know that server side analytics is good to get number of GET requests but is almost unusable for anything else. But in their case it seems they are not even trying to filter bots
Page views is always the biggest complains people have when they change analytics tool, "why you have 100k more/less pages views than GA, adobe Analytics?" -> "We don't count pageviews the same way" The reality is everyone is filtering bots a different way and nobody is really doing it well, as a result anyone numbers are wrong. The raw number of pageviews usually doesn't mean anything, that's better to look at difference
