Because we live in 2025 and bots exists, they will come and scan the threads of this forum.
And threrefore you will see a thread have 10000 views and probably 95% or more of those views are bots.

Interesting. I saw the bots and the huge view numbers and suspected something was going on.

Yeah I think the real number is more like 99% bots. Maybe even 99.5%.
It sucks but that is the reality of bots. It is preventable though but you have to them make it hard for bots to access the forum.
But then you might not get this forum on google either. We need to make bots that fights bots.
