I use the Brave browser which blocks ads and Matomo accurately tracks visits using it.

Discourse tracks Logged in users, Anonymous users and Crawlers, so I don’t see how crawlers are contributing to 30x inflated Anonymous users pageviews compared to Matomo.

Now compare topic views count to pageviews count, if those pageviews were accurate the topic views count would be much higher.
