I've been able to hit 200 views numerous times. Total, across all frontends. Well over 200, numerous times.
My market/following will read my work on one of the top three frontends. What makes this difficult and even annoying is the fact I'd have to tell them at the start of the post to stop reading and click the link leading to inleo and read the post there.
And there's no way I'd do that because it's an inconvenience for the consumer. I could post from Inleo, but majority will be reading it elsewhere. I and several others did not build our brands on LEO products.
Dunno man, this is still said with a mindset of creating hive content for hive (few) readers... But if someone shares their content on X, reddit, medium and facebook, using a link to inleo, those views you talk about - which you are correct, the content consumption on hive comes from peakd or ecency mainly and it is tiny - won't matter compared to the views one can get from audiences outside of hive.
About the second part of your comment I cannot really argue because it's a matter of opinion and mindset, which I fully respect and understand though I don't share.
In the end it all depends on how people look at the scenario displayed by inLeo. People can either argue for or against it, all I know is that I'm in for bringing in outside ad capital to the hive ecosystem and hopefully, hopefully, get a flywheel or snowball effect going.
Yeah. Link sharing content consumers would be helpful. Wrote about them once. That's almost three years old. This "mindset" has grown tired and is throwing in the towel. I didn't build a following on other platforms. Wasted my time, here.
It's good to see some are catching up to these ideas and at least trying. I get it and wish you all the best of luck.
I might revisit this in 6-12 months just to see how things are going.
