It took me 15 years to get 1 million views on the blog.
It took less than two years to get 2 million more.
Yeah, the system is broken, definitely not the same one I was working with all these years. I still trust Blogger stats somewhat with the individual post views, but I know most are bot/engine driven hits to my main page, (https://gamingwiththegnomies.blogspot.com/ ).
And it's not just me. Trusted, and far more popular blogs the have celebrated five, six, or even seven million views in fairly organic ways have mentioned a huge spike in general page views, while their per post views remain the same.
And I'm certainly not complaining about post views. I remember 15 years ago when a post got 40 views I did a happy dance. There isn't enough traffic to justify monetizing the blog (and making 15 cents while pissing of the people that actually enjoy the blog), so I'll just keep trying to stay active everyday for folks.
