Their metrics are dubious at best. They don't count Gentoo users who |
| 20 |
don't visit the distrowatch website, and they probably don't count |
| 21 |
most of the Gentoo users who DO visit the distrowatch website since we |
| 22 |
tend to follow upstream and don't whore for metrics in all of our |
| 23 |
user_agent strings or for ad dollars in our default search engines. |

This actually has involved turning down money in the past. |
