The move away from Universal Analytics feels less about the tech and more about how we've lost that whole ecosystem of advocates and shared hacks. The big issues like thresholding and the messy BigQuery export schema are bad enough, but it's getting harder to find actual help when things break. I'm not even sure if all those technical bugs are the real problem compared to losing the sense of a shared user base.

the bigquery schema is a total disaster even without the community gone. anyone actually figured out how to join those events without losing your mind?

Thresholding is definitely a nightmare for my recent cohorts. I can't even trust the session counts when the sample size dips below a certain point. We need to see some long-term data before deciding if this is just a temporary setup issue or something deeper.

it feels so isolating when you can't rely on your own data for basic usability testing, especially since i've been seeing similar gaps in our user journey funnels lately. we're basically forced to rely on gut feelings more than actual metrics now that the visibility is so fragmented. does anyone else feel like they're just guessing at the drop-off points?
