For those of you not aware, 
In this screenshot I'm checking my top pages of last month:
Now keep in mind that this doesn't entail all the traffic, it may even double count people who open a post twice, etc, but what it does count is all views generated from peakd itself. Meaning that views from ecency, hive.blog and other smaller front-ends it doesn't count at all (although ecency has its own viewcounter on posts - but not sure sure about analytics).
I do like to look into these every now and then, naturally my views may be a bit biased due to autovotes and trending time, but also generally depend on my activity I'd say. If I'm posting more I tend to get more returning readers and if I'm more active curating the same thing may happen - especially if I'm also active engaging with other people's posts they may come and check out mine as well - even if in some cases it may not be something they're interested in themselves.
I feel like a lot of people disregard social activity when looking to grow an audience here, the lack of connection forming always has felt weird to me. I'm not saying you should like and try to connect with everyone, but at least try to be active with authors who share the same interests as you - which you can find easily in different communities they may be posting in about a certain subject that also interests you.
Too many authors seem to eventually get to a point where they receive auto/blind votes and they become content with it and start the "farm". This is where they make sure to post daily so none of those autovotes go to "waste". The content quality and effort may take a hit, their social activity declines and they get used to things just being this way forever and nothing shall stand in their way! Well, there are downvotes and I think it is important to use these from time to time when we see such activities. It's not always the author to blame and it may not always depend on something they've done/not done, but no matter if it's the curator or author, you as the downvoter trying to return some value to everyone else through the pool are often the culprit in this situation. It also doesn't help that some users here demonize downvotes and never use them while at the same time casting shadows to anyone trying to use them well when instead we should be normalizing their use if anything to reward those more who do put in time, effort consistently receive consumers.
Anyway, just a quick post with some thoughts, have been too busy lately planning some things for our game to write. Hope december found you well!
