BTW - what I see from most viewed content on Hive/Peakd and the amount of upvotes seems your "chill week" will be another record view week instead - great job! - I would assume over 3 million views from you only @theworldaroundme

It was a good test this week, and I enjoyed it. The only downside is that I lost half of the reward, especially the big ones. The good thing, however, is that it pushes views and gives us confidence to get into the news subs, ike @davideownzall, who found an awesome sub, r/awesome. You have also massively improved your ability to jump from one sub to another. That’s one of the great things about GOSH. We built teamwork, so winning is for everyone, though I’m not sure how others perceive this. :)
I agree with all points - the perception of others is a different one. When I take a look at most viewed posts (just on Peakd) I become a bit frightened :-):
Some people wrote me already via Discord who is x and y and z and why do they have so many views :-)
Really, why do they ask that, maybe look at the content and ask why the content has views, it isn't about the person. Reddit is honest, views come from people. That's the good thing, no one can pump up your article there, if it is shit, people are not shy to downvote or report you or banned or get filtered. And we do not know anyone on Reddit, well not me, I started from scratch when @x-rain suggested I open a Reddit account. We learned the hard way.:)
Correction and I beg your pardon, some articles are not necessarily shit (excuse my word) Reddit has got a different way of viewing things, first self promotion is a big no no on most of them.
Absolutely agreed in all terms - just was talking about Hive and its users that might not understand what we do on Reddit and why their own high quality content that gets 100 USD is not on top but our reddit share posts :-) - hard to explain only in writing.
That's true, hard to explain unless you join and experience it, as my own creations/content don't do well there. Either removed or very low view but does not too bad in here, so had to give them extra participation in the sub to get them accepted, even then it doesn't get much views. :)
Reddit and Hive totally diffferent. We fight fr views from Reddit and add copntent that might be appreciated there ideally in a way when they visit Hive to see - ah cool, like myown mindset, let me join there.
I just wanted to highlight some people here on HIVE could see this as not fair (people love stats - people tend to say I wanna be top most viewed because my content is great). Waht many probably do not understand what we do on Reddit - driving traffic numbers is not realted to waht others see as HQ content on Hive - I knwo how certain wars started and i wanna avoid wars.
I will do a post next week around the postive things redditposh is doing (like @tsnaks recently did), what @x-rain @acidyo constantly do - but i have the feeling mayn people do n ot understand what we do here - hope I am not too careful but i saw a lot already.

That's a fab idea, we have lots of positive things and we need to concentrate on that. 😊
An interesting topic - just to explain what some people think. Sicne Steemit days we had discussion why trending would be full of shit posts without engagement. Here we have the issue (in my view) on peakd trending / most viewed when people see always the same are on top and they see hardly comments / discussion below the post and even hardly rewards or all payouts declined/burned whatever - some people become nervous and ask. And when they start asking it could lead to other things (some accounts are already on certain lists and het flagged).
Just wanna raise it - as i know how people could react here - today / yesterday was a special day though in terms of this "most viewed" area.
And 99% on Hive do not understand Reddit and hardly know about our initiative to drive traffic. Just a heads-up
I totally understand what you mean, but if people get 100$ payout and barely any views, then they get all this due to autovotes and no one is consuming their post... It's like highlight to be over rewarded lol... And obviously their posts are not worth outside hive, like on reddit who has high quality expectations
True, i do agree, the problem we have since start and also based on circle jerks but others might see it differently
If you want to do that post you mentioned explaining, why not? Could be good
