@dansup Probably not everybody will use 3rd party apps for Loops, but I think for those who do and for those apps that don't report that data, I'd respect that decision of the app since it is some sensitive data and some people don't want to share that data.
And I think it's much healthier for the Fediverse when 3rd party apps are encouraged to be used and don't get locked out.
There might be other ways to improve the FYP algo without these analytics that would work on 3rd party apps as well.
