Alternatives to Alexa are prohibitively expensive because website traffic analysis is primarily marketed to private companies for improving their SEO. I'm sure Amazon realized they weren't properly monetizing their product but still... something seems off.

This makes me feel weird...Like most porn nerds, I've been using Alexa rankings for years to track tube sites as they shuffle up and down the list. https://t.co/KrWlEWL5yV via @variety

Amazon will pull the plug on Alexa.com, a web-site ranking and analytics service unrelated to the Alexa voice assistant platform.

We started this process in 2019, during a, shall we say, different reality. The only thing that didn't change when we were working on this issue was my absolute assuredness of the usefulness of pornography...

I think about this a lot. When I close my eyes I can see all of my doctoral advisor’s favorite sweaters.
Four weeks into a job, you’ve seen everybody’s shirts
