@jarvie (Peakd):
All right. Next five years, huh? Someone previously said that we had like 10, 000 creators, but I want to assure people we have in the seven figure range in number of viewers, there's tons and tons of people coming from all corners of the internet from Google searches and other websites that are tied to all the content that has been created over the last, what, seven years.
If that's the case, why does the views page on peakd.com show such tiny numbers? When I explore that, I see barely a handful of posts getting more than 50 unique views each day. Weekly ranking have usually a few posts with 500-1000 unique views, with most posts getting far less. 10,000 views on a post being very rare. This is not reflective of millions of views. What is the issue here, is the views counter severely undercounting or what?
If I'm honest, I think an undercounting is not the explanation, or if it is it's only part of it. When I managed to get some traffic with just some moderate success on Reddit, I was able to bring in thousands of views to posts on peakd.com and it showed on the counter. It seems to me like posts genuinely have very low views from outside our own ecosystem.
Having accurate figures on viewers ought to be useful when it comes to marketing Hive. We just need those numbers to be better.
I'm just catching up with these town halls. It's great that the projects are getting together. This happens at Hivefest, but we need it more often than once a year.
