Do u know how much traffic controversial topics makes?
Yeah, lol. Controversy attracts attention. Whenever I've written those types of posts they ended up being the biggest posts on Hive for days or weeks.
I still get Peakd views on my Mario Nawfal post for some reason that was written 6 months ago.
They dont get more votes though. That is almost never the case. Its something about not wanting to be associated with something controversial as it implies agreement. So attention isnt actually what is valued the most.
