Comment (by Cybr):

 @dd32 I'm not sure why you're gaslighting us whilst something else was
 said by Joost on WP Tavern.

 I quote:

 > Struck: I think a more important question is how is Yoast getting these
 PHP stats.
 > > Joost: We’re getting the data from the .org team.

 The people at Yoast B.V. also work as SEOs for WordPress.org, being
 granted access to all Google Analytics data --- this very thread sends
 data to 'googletagmanager.'

 I'll also leave out the undertaking between them and Jetpack. But that
 obviously indicates that they found their users don't necessarily overlap;
 otherwise, they wouldn't [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-
 seo/issues/20035 promote]
 [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/29643 each]
 [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/29725 other]. Oops, I guess I
 didn't leave that out.

 Let's not lie to ourselves and say that WordPress is Free and Open Source.
 It's riddled with trialware, adware, serviceware, and even malware. Money
 is to be made: it's a market, and it should be regulated as one.
