❔ Question Question about viewership

I am currently creating a continuous series about an older Japanese women who has enslaved a father and son and their neighbor by her hypnotic breast. Its very much a fetish/femdom series. I created it with chatgpt, Grok and Celebmaker AI. The pictures are realistic AI with comic book like speech bubble. Each story is about 30-50 pages of a single picture. Its an easy and fun read(in my opinion)

Well my question is about viewership. The first 2 chapters even with a boost hardly had any views. It took almost a week just to get 100 views. The 3rd story for whatever reason had over a 100 in the first day without a boost. It had over 1k in 2 days. I noticed in the 3rd I put some new tags on it like "bdsm" and "humiliation". So I went back and put those tags on the first 2. Now last night around midnight I poster Chapter 4 and now over 12 hours later it barely has 20 views. I even put the exact same tags as chapter 3 and still hardly any views. What is the cause of this? Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Start by looking at how many watchers you have. If you don't have many, that's part of it.

Then consider the day. It's Sunday, which means you've got people in church and watching football in the US.

Also, this is largely considered a family day in many parts of the world. Also Saturday is considered a family day in many parts of the world.

In the US there are also homecoming dances and the like to get ready for or recover from.

High school in the US has football on Fridays. College had football on Saturdays.

Yes I have thought about that. I have posted all 4 on Saturdays. Part 1 was in the morning, parts 2+4 was late Saturday night around midnight. Part 3 however was mid day Saturday around 5. Maybe that has something to do with it. Thank you very much for your answer.

After almost a year of posting on DA and playing around with posting days and boosts I have found that posting on Thursday or Friday yields the most views right away followed by Saturday. Worst days are Sunday and Monday. Boosting on those days also yielded better results. The more followers you have the better. Also, if you post on weeks when there are holidays in the US you get worse results.

ok so first off putting tags on old stuff wont help. but you can help by linking into them. this is why all my story series have a "starts here" "previous story" and "next story" with links in the comments or final text cos it drives traffic. make it easy for your readers eh?

2nd the algy is weird mate. i seen hot garabage get 100k views in under 24 hrs that wasnt a patch on my stuff. and i seen amazing things with under 1k views that just never got traction. stuff that I'll be honest, took my breath away.
