New Inkstone stats aren't accurate?
XOMatsumaeohana I didn't even think to compare the male to female, and wow, it really does say 0% female which is funny because one was a boy band fan fic from a contest. :joy: (Well they do have male fans too, but still, that cracked me up.) I swore that the other day I saw pink along with blue though, so maybe it's a recent glitch? :thinking:
Oh yeah, and however they compile these stats is different from the previous version. In the window that shows all of the books at once with the Explore button, the number of collections (I haven't checked if views are too, but most likely yes) is different from the numbers on the Google Analytics-like dashboard.
This seems sorta silly to me from a web developer standpoint, but possibly they couldn't find a way (or were to cheap to find a way? lol) to integrate the systems since the old one was much quicker. If it is indeed in the last 48 hours, that definitely sounds like they're using some other pre-made plugin/algorithm/analytics hosting-package. This makes me wonder if that's part of the reason why they're encountering so many bugs...
Well, I'm ignoring all those stats stuff anyway because it's only shows real data for one of my books. No point in watching zeros stay zeros. :joy: Even the one with actual numbers I don't understand half of what it's supposed to tell me since I'm used to seeing these sort of metrics for websites (like SEO or e-commerce). :sweat_smile:
The devs will check if it's a bug.
Sometimes analytics for things such as gender isn't easy to obtain since readers might just choose to provide fake information. The others are more obvious numbers.
Chryiss lowkey same. I feel like the average writer would have to study the line graphs they have really hard to make sense of them (tbh I'm alway bad at graphs though so that's probably why) and I'm definitely not going to look at it for more than a minute at most. :sweat_smile:
& also, random irrelevant question: are you a web developer?
yaoyueyi I'm not skilled or experienced enough to call myself one by any means, but I've made several websites myself over the years since high school (WordPress, WiX, Weebly). Currently, I'm working in the AI industry and designing parts of the company website along with other content creation and design along with marketing. I'm not doing the actual implementation though because our current project require a lot of back-end and CMS development which I can't do. I'm majoring in data analytics, but I dabble in tiny bits of programming. In short, I just like technology I guess. :) (And of course anything to do with design and art. It's a weird mix since I'm also a math tutor. I always joke it's because I'm asian lol. XD)
The devs have studied the problem. There might be some problems if the book has few readers. In that case, the 48 hours thing can be easily skewed by a few readers since it's a percentage.
Veronica8 I just got lured in by the AI. XD I’ll change jobs to my actual major once I graduate. But I’m hoping to do masters, so we’ll see how that goes lol. I’d love to work for a game company too. I’ve coded a few simple games, and it’s pretty fun. Of course, I wouldn’t be the programmer, just designer. I can’t do that kind of high tech sorcery!

CKtalon okay, thank you for the explanation!
it's fixed now because it shows that 87% are female readers which is more like what I expected. :) though I don't think that the original problem was that few readers who were male were reading it because in the 48 hours, most of the readers who commented on the latest chapter were female. but it's all good now!
Veronica8 It’s a strange job for sure. Interesting, but strange because the industry is still new, so the company is considered a start up even though the product has been developed for over a decade. Thus, the levels of management are basically just two: Director, and me, lol! Plus a partner too, and the outsourcing hiring I had to do too. Well, this is only the US branch, so it’s not like there’s just three in my department. :sweat_smile:
Chryiss AI has a big push globally. I read Google translation software relies heavily on AI combined with BI analytics, they incorporated this into their Google Docs application, which is why their grammar feature is kind of intuitive. Microsoft uses AI in their dictionaries and search features of Word. There is a lot of interest in this product with the immediate benefits being search function and features.
Veronica8 Yes, in our particular sector, AI is tricky business because of the laws and skepticism about it. You know, the whole robots will take over the world sort of thing as well as personal privacy or freedoms etc. It's the whole if self-driving cars become fully functional for the masses, then laws that require only self-automated cars might be enacted because "it's safer." Not saying that's true or another, but--- Wait, I'm getting off topic. XD Either way, it's fun to see where the curve of humanity is heading towards lol~
Chryiss I'm a farmer :P I can cook anything for you.
Veronica8 Yes lmao! So I shan't say anymore!
Enlightened_Being Yes please lol~ Fresh produce as a home cooked meal is welcome anytime. What do you grow or raise btw?
Shoot, now I'm thinking of V and his strawberry farm because of their new game. XD (Don't respond to this and derail the convo more onto even farther tangents lol! I actually haven't played their game and don't plan to either. And I'm saying this because I feel like it, and I just came from writing a new chapter of the topic. :joy: )
