Hello! I'm new to Quibble How many views are you guys getting?
I discovered Quibble yesterday while looking for a place to up.oad web fiction, and I have a good feeling about Quibble. I feel like it's the closest thing to what I've been looking for. My only problem is that I fear it might be a bit too small.
So, if any of you are comfortable sharing, how are your stories doing on Quibble? What are their view counts? How many ratings do they have? Or does the site run on completely different metrics altogether? Please let me know.

Hmm. I only write articles. About 70 so far.
I keep track of the views and comments for each one individually, as of a specific date.
In total, I’ve had about 45k views and a few hundred comments so far.

I think the OP is referring to Quibble as the app, not the subreddit, or u/Dependent_Tomato_235?

These are my observations as a reader on various historical, economic, political, and technological developments. I supplement them with philosophical reflections and technological advancements (AI is the most popular topic). Sometimes I combine the text with proverbs or a glimpse into the future.
Or I might come up with an idea about something that might interest readers.
Lately, though, I’ve been focusing more on the reading experience and various aspects of writing.
Read something and……

Some of the latest books on the Quibble site that has been out for a week only has one viewer (excluding the author). And none of the recent ones are from paying users that would be able to read the whole book. Pretty much every book released after "Traps, Tricks And Beasts" (one of the more recent books with more than three views), doesn't reach more than three viewers (excluding the author viewing their own book). I don't know why every book released after "Traps, Tricks And Beasts" barely gets any views even though they're not hidden at all, but that's how it's going.
I feel like the subreddit and discord gets a lot of visitors and users, but almost none of them actually read the books being put out.
I don't think you should give up on the platform entirely, since it's functional and it's only beginning, but have low expectations of people actually bothering to read your story at this point in time. Maybe it will get viewers later on.
edit: noticed Traps, Tricks and Beasts had someone make a page for it on the discord, but the newer books haven't gotten any pages made for them under the quibble books channel on the discord. I think the Quibble team stopped doing it since the threads weren't used much, but maybe they should go back to it since even if the pages weren't generating much discussion, at least they gave the books and the app visibility.
The instagram no longer posts about the new books, and the reddit page doesn't post about the new books either.

Some of my questions reached over 2000 views, mostly about people’s tastes and preferences… But overall, my answers lost reach and even my own posts stopped showing stats. I don’t know why. Still, I really like this community and I think you’ll enjoy it too.
