Not much, but it would be interesting to see the Watch release visitor numbers publically in the same way that we do. I would guess that they're about 2/3 of our size.

Yes, but what is their engagement like? They are lucky to see threads reach into the double digit page numbers, meanwhile we have 2,000 page shitposting disaster zones that have been condemned by the US goverment.

I think they just did not have anything except that tutorial level.

Yeah, that's why I asked them how much time they still have until they wanna be finished with all the content.

They wanna finish the content this year. Eh.

Higher global rank, 550k versus 240k last month.

Our average time is 10 minutes, theirs is 2. They also have a slightly higher bounce rate.

I like that they didn't lose heart. Maybe something will come of it. Today I am an optimist.

I'd like it to end up as good as they promise too, so hopefully they know wtf they're doing.

Well, those are estimates, and they don't seem to count unique visitors (or if they do, they are really wrong estimates). We know that we had 158k unique front page visitors last month (slow month, middle of summer, no need to panic); if you are willing to assume that the similarweb numbers bear some sort of proportional resemblance to the truth, that could give the Watch about 82k unique front page visitors a month.

Right, but they're decently accurate, at least as far as my site goes.

and they don't seem to count unique visitors

Also true.

Holy fucking newfag not knowing Guybrush Threepwood. There needs to be an entrance exam to register here.

Oh yeah, everyone knows Guybrush Threepwood, he is one of the heroes in Fall From Heaven, from the Lanun faction.

Knowing that is even more :obviously:

than knowing him from mainstream franchise Monkey Island.

Bubbles & JarlFrank good job.

(Quoting For the Free User Reference)

This was one of the best written pieces I have read in a long time.. Probably since mindx2 did his journalist stint 8ish months ago.

You guys complimented each other perfectly giving your perspectives on each event - I actually got an accurate idea of what it was like visiting each company.
Loved the questions you guys asked, If I was gonna quote my favorite part - it would just be dumping the entire thing in this post.

Fantastic job Comrades. :salute:
