What is more important - subs, views or engagement

[Bosque]

Generally I think both, but I'll choose engagement, because you can receive support as pageviews for example, and probabbly a quanty of viewers are not registered on the site (or they're in but they don't add the comic on the library) but if you have 100 subscribers and 1000 visits, this means about how people who are not interested to be a member of Tapas share or sees your work just because they sincerely like it c:

Engagement for me as well. Now, I can't speak about what is best for earning revenue or building your fanbase, etc because I am still a newborn baby when it comes to all that.

But what keeps me looking excitedly at my notifications every day? What keeps me updating? ENGAGEMENT. Texting back and forth with a friend who likes my novel or comic, or answering comments on tapas, or seeing stuff on my wall, or even getting into an interesting discussion in the forums, is why I am genuinely enjoying the experience and excited to keep doing it. It's why I finally achieved my goals of uploading many formerly "lost" comics of mine onto the internet once more where they can finally live and grow. It's why I FINALLY wrote my novel.

The people, even if it's one or two, and how they read my work, is why I finally got off my ass.

I don't know what the algorithm favours, I'm not making my comic for a living, so I just trotch along and enjoy the journey, so I don't think much about it.

Personally I appreciate comments the most. I also get a certain satisfaction seeing the sub count go up.

making the content first?

Although subs and views are pretty important, I really like to have an active engagements with my reader since I scarcely got any feedback (but maybe because I don't particularly like putting notes on my writings), not to mention that I am the kind of people that lost my motivation like a melted ice cream on the hot asphalt (that is the correct metaphor).
