The data is there if you look just below the surface. Today I learned docs.python.org Plausible analytics are publicly available, which is pretty cool! Right away my eye was drawn to the stats on visitors from around the world: Notice how in this, the US of A is shown _so much_ brighter than anywhere else in the world?
