Ask HN: If you don't use UTM parameters when sharing your project, why?
I presume that if you have a project and you want to share with others, you define your success on how impact your websites are on the internet. Thus, you will want to have data on the traffic source. The way to get that is adding UTM parameters in your sharing links.
Looking at the show list, I see no-one does that. Perhaps it's not possible if you don't own the server (e.g. you share a GitHub repo), but if not then I don't understand why people don't do that. I understand that some simply don't know about UTM, but as most people in here are tech-oriented, I think that number should be small. There are perhaps some other reasons, like: - The effort of adding the parameters manually (even via link builders) outweighs the benefit - Their main sharing platforms have built-in traffic tracking methods. If they don't run a lots of channels they could just be using a more singular channel pixel or conversions API to provide measurement. If you only have one source of traffic then UTM parameters may be overkill
I still don't see how most people in here have these problems, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Note that if you have your own set of params or use a link shortener to hide them, then I still count as using UTM. I also have an elaborated question of this in [Webmaster Stack Exchange](https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/q/144604/52079).
