Every month I tally up how many views my fresh posts garnered at Blogger compared to Before It's News.
In theory, since I publish on Blogger, the biggest blog host on the web, the looks there should by far outstrip the views at Before It's News, where I'm stashed in the fringe back corner on what's already a fringe website.
However, Google loads up its Blogger platform with a gauntlet of all sorts of algorithms designed to protect the public by squishing misinformation, disinformation, Putin's propaganda, Chinese propaganda, Iranian propaganda... in fact, any propaganda whatsoever unless it's US propaganda, and any other ideas that do not pass the the current groupthink sniff test.
In February I posted 34 stories on Blogger. Before It's News reposted 33 of them.
Views on Blogger; avg of 16.5 views per post for a total of 560.
Views on Before It's News; avg of 77 per post for a total of 2,554.
Algorithms at work!
