It's virtually impossible for most sites to do a billion page views in a month or even a year.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Views online is a real weird and sticky subject. One view on a 30-second piece of content is not equivalent to one view on a 30 minute video. In my mind it's not quite the same thing.
Sustaining an audience with a web series is an impossible task.
There aren't many sites like 4chan where you can pop in every hour and see all new stuff.
On the advertising side, view count is not the most important thing. It's engagement.
Facebook is not an unstoppable juggernaut. There are a lot of other things people can do on the web.
The effort of every time I put out a video, it was like, 'Okay, I've got to put it on my Facebook, I've got to put it on my website, what's the view count now? What's the view count now? What's the view count now?' You get obsessive with it.
You have to remember when we were going once a month, we were putting out issues that were 480 pages, and people were complaining that these were too big, I can't get through a 480 page magazine every month.
The number of people who will not go to a show they do not want to see is unlimited.
Anyone can create and put stuff out there, so then as viewers and listeners, we have access to a lot of different unique view points.
Just because you have star power and a huge marketing budget, you can see from some professional web series, it doesn't equal views.
