I've advocated open usage data in the past - in the form, say, of sharable RSS feeds - and had exactly zero take-up on the idea. I haven't seen anyone who is interested. Meanwhile, I'll continue to set an example of stats and hit counts, even though it severely compromises the marketability and monetization of my website. But, you know, understanding my impact isn't a matter of understanding my stats. Those are pretty irrelevant. It's a matter of understanding the impact of my ideas. Ah - but that's a lot harder to measure, first, to establish provenance, and second, to assess impact. Because, you know, by the time it shows up on a TED video, all original authorship has been pretty much expunged.
