- ahofmann 7mo ago150m page views a month is peanuts and very far away from the "social" networks numbers. I don't have those numbers, but I know how many page views we had 2011 while running a german browser game community.
- armchairhacker 7mo agoThe internet seems to have grown massively within the past couple years (unfortunately, almost certainly because of bots). I bet the number today is orders of magnitude higher.
- troosevelt 7mo agoI would bet money that HN's traffic is not orders of magnitude higher than 2020. HN is not as popular as HNers think it is.
- armchairhacker 7mo agoWe don't disagree. The extra traffic is almost if not entirely bots (especially scrapers)
