HITS ARE STRANGE

I know I keep going on about this, but hits these days are really strange...

On this blog the hit count for most of 2024 was only about 100 - 200 a day.

Then in 2025 it started climbing and by the end of the year it was up to about 1000 a day.

And here at the beginning of 2026 it took of like an imaginary moon rocket and was racking up over 2000 hits a day, sometimes over 3000. Holy cow, I'm an influencer again my ego screamed triumphantly!
 

Something I've noticed before is that when I do less posts I get more hits, and when I do more posts the hits drop. Odd...

It doesn't really matter, I only post this stuff for my own entertainment, I'm not trying to "monetize" anything, or even to expose any deep state agendas, because I've tried that already and it wasn't very effective.

This week my hits have suddenly dropped back again from over 2000 a day to less than 100. And a little voice in my head is asking "Is this proof that all my hits were either being made up by Google altogether, or are a result of AI bots crawling the web using algorithms?"

 
If the hits on this blog were a result of actual people visiting my blog, it's unlikely the hit-count would shoot up and down like that, as it's not like thousands of people are using Google to search for "strange little purple blogs posting all sorts of deranged crap".

If they were, Google could blacklist my blog and the hits would stop. That could certainly be done, but what were those 2000+ hits I was getting each day up until last week? If they were regular readers, or the result of traffic from links posted on other websites, then a Google blacklisting wouldn't affect them.

So I suspect that my 2000 hits a day were almost entirely imaginary, and what AI gives, AI can take away. Being a bit old school I sometimes struggle with this level of fakeness, but I need to remind myself of the following:

I write blog posts if and when I feel like, with no expectation of them making any difference to anything, or even being read by anyone.
