I've been feeling it too. Pretty much all of my videos had 0 views for a long time, but lately a bunch have passed 10 views and others have gotten a handful of views

Has anyone checked whether it's actual users, or AI companies scraping content?

I can only check my own server. The IP addresses are not coming from AI that I can see. openai is usually the worst offender on my other sites, but since I rolled out the anti-ai blackhole, they seem to have been going away.

You can generally see where the requests are coming from. And AI distinctly wil have the same IP hit you over and over. They are actually pretty lazy.

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁
