Why has the attendance of sports.ru fallen?

Question

Computer networks

I decided to see how the site sports.ru was doing, the company I wanted to work with, which swore several times promised to call back in any case, but never did.
I noticed that there were fewer advertisements on the site, looked at LiveInternet statistics and was surprised - within one month, namely from July to August, the resource traffic fell 3 times, and over the next month - 1000 times.
Please tell us what kind of shock the company experienced?
A variety of googling did not reveal the cause.

Answer 1

The company experienced a big shock - it removed the liveinternet counter. Hence the lack of traffic on the counter. On some pages, the counter remained apparently, hence the crumbs of statistics.

Answer 2

Or maybe the World Cup has just passed.
ps "We will definitely call you back" is the second most popular lie after "I have read this license agreement"))
