Guys, what is more important, subs and likes and views? Or people actually reading and connecting to your story?
If I could get but one subscribe and like and view per chapter, but a smart, thought-out comment on the part of the subscriber, I would personally be happier than with millions of subscribers.
If it is a question of subscribers, viewers, likers (and this is fair, especially if you guys need this as a platform to commercially publish eventually, I am not judging here), wouldn't it be simpler that you all decide to sub and like each other's, like a pact of sorts. A view is after all someone just scrolling down your page, a like takes less than a second, etc. If you all promised to do that to each other to help out, your stats would look pretty stellar, according to me.
