Nice, congrats.
I never attempted to build a WEB2 following. Most times I didn't care enough about my personal web2 accounts to even remember my password. I have managed to hit 15K+ a few times on past accounts. Below is a screenshot of a post that generated 2.7K views in 20 minutes. The post got removed about 30 minutes into it because it was link leading to my blog. If I remember correctly it was at 6.7K at time of removal. I agree about the hive reddit sections. Thanks for the advice.
Oh I don't try to build a web2 following either, just promoting hive around 😅
Yes a lot of subreddits don't like blog links, you need to find the right ones that accept it
