#like 'oh posts with X's characters/ campaigns consistently get more views I bet That Person checks their email' lmao

the addition of post insights to patreon is so weird and fascinating, I feel like there is truly no rhyme or reason to which posts people actually come look at

#with the exception of 'linking directly to a patreon post from somewhere else does actually work apparently' #(very much to my surprise tbh??) #but like-- day of the week I post? no obvious pattern of effect on views #time of day I post? no obvious pattern #post title? characters featured? exclusive vs public posts? sketches vs finished art?? #on the one hand it's like-- well I have a pretty small sample size so there's probably just not enough people to form Group Patterns #but on the other hand all my patrons are friends of mine so in theory there could be extra data there I could intuit #like 'oh posts with X's characters/ campaigns consistently get more views I bet That Person checks their email' lmao #anyway it's-- kind of interesting but also a little annoying because it's not really actionable aahah #like this has nothing to do with tastes re: what I'm drawing it's literally just 'which posts have been looked at at all by somebody' #if they were all usually about the same that'd make sense but?? sometimes it varies WILDLY and I'm curious why #again if there even is any reason aside from 'coincidentally no one opened the email for that one' or whatever #is there any way I can increase my odds of people seeing the things I'm only sharing with a really restricted audience to begin with... #hmmm #about me #my art
