How do these stats get generated? 9 views but 462 likes on 2 chapters?

So, I got unduly curious about it, and checked the accounts that left comments on that book's chapter. All of them are set up in the same way: they have 3 books in their library, some of them adding that same book MULTIPLE times, and also liking each chapter of this book MULTIPLE times. So, that's how they generate so many likes and subscribers without generating views. Intriguing.

Obviously someone is always going to take advantage however possible. I just don't worry about it and focus on getting our own work out there and seen. It's not like Tapas has the ability to control them, sadly. It's unfair, yeah, but it doesn't inhibit our own creative and effective means to get noticed too.

Not if it takes spots in Popular and Trending. They delete them when reported. If they wouldn’t, they will take 5 top spots or more.

Well, I'm glad we have vigilant people here to report the chicanery.
I wouldn't know what to look for.
