Shadowbanned? Be Damned!

 

A few days ago I wrote an article entitled Don't Call it "Wales"! which has generated a lot of feedback, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/dont-call-it-wales.html. I have had three original comments under the article itself plus entire threads of replies on the Facebook post, on my own timeline and the two groups I shared it with. Despite this, at the time of writing, late afternoon on Friday the 4th, you can see that according to my Blogger stats illustrated above this article has had only forty-seven views. The afternoon after I posted it, it was showing just thirty-three, even though most of the comments had been posted by then. As I say in the background articles below, I think Blogger is seriously undercounting my viewing figures, probably on purpose. They are fabricating a diminished Google footprint for me and are throwing it in my face. This is more than just shadowbanning; it is trying to make me think I have an even smaller reach than the one they are trying to engineer. Silicon Valley has overplayed its hand though. I've always been suspicious of my stats, but this is the first time they have ever arranged viewing figures for me that are lower than the number of comments I've had. Do they think I'm stupid? Did they think I wouldn't notice? Do they really think I'm just going to give up? Do they really think I'm going to believe these figures and say: "What's the point of me writing these articles when no bugger reads them?" Not a chance! I now have effective proof that my audience is far larger than my Blogger statistics are claming and so I shall continue to produce content for all those people to read, watch and listen to.
