Customer sent two suggestions:
the referrer "com.reddit.frontpage", which appears to originate with people using an "app" to read Reddit, should be counted under "Social Networks" with the rest of Reddit-related referrers. At the moment it is counted separately under "Web sites." A significant fraction of traffic from Reddit appears with this referrer, so stats would be more useful by counting it together with other Reddit-referred traffic.
It'd be nice to have a separate "Channel Type" category, alongside search engines, social networks, Web sites, etc., for generative AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, etc.). These have become a significant fraction of my incoming traffic and they don't fit well into the existing channel types.
