What followed was the realization that my existence was being shadow banned from the web actively by gewgel, and to a lesser degree other search engines. In fact it still is to a large degree. Behind the scenes I have seen in my blog stats how gewgek would regularly scrape off view stats to suppress this sissy, but I was undeterred. Little by little I would find wins.
This week I hit 500k views, and while it may seem low after 2 years and especially since my old bloh would see about 800k per year, I feel like I've been winning again. My numbers are increasing and the damn has broke a litte with the gewgel getapo. More of my blog is discoverable online.
So to those who have refound, newly found and have been kind enough to link my blog onto their own, thank you!
