      Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle

      I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring
