What's up with the random spikes in hits?

I'll get 0-3 hits for days and then suddenly like 80 out of nowhere. I'm not complaining, I just wish I knew where they were coming from. They don't correlate at all with publishing new chapters.

Probably your work is being raved about in some forum or some YouTube video or discord server or from IRL people.

Did you get someone who liked a bunch of your chapters in a row? Not sure if the algorithm has changed but I noticed in the past that when I got someone who liked a bunch of my chapters in a short time period, it's possible for my work to show up on the popular list in the comic's respective genre on the Community tab. Then other people browsing that section might see it and click on the work

I got that when I was featured in staff picks and on the sci-fi feature in the community tab, but I don't know if that exists anymore other than that it can just be that you got to the top of "new" or something like that on the site, or if you've got a bunch of chapters out already: 1 or 2 people binge reading.

Usually on the internet it's pretty hard to get people from other platforms to come and check out something unless they're angry about it.

I think someone new went through and read a large chunk of your comic! I get a spike like that when a new reader comes on, even if they don't subscribe. I'm glad your comic is doing well!

I've experienced this before, and that's probably because someone else discovered your work and wanted to read it in full. It could also be for other reasons, but I've only started my comic career for a year, so take whatever I'm saying with a grain of salt.
