Odd Things On This Blog, And Other News

For a couple of months I have been getting between 35 and 60 individual daily visitors on this blog, which, considering it’s a personal blog with no advertising I am perfectly happy with, especially since I started out with 0 daily visitors a day a couple of years back and it has slowly but steadily been increasing.

So you can imagine my surprise when the other day I check my stats and I see over 1000 daily visits (that is, individual users, not page views). Well, I look into it and I discover that they all come from Falkenstein, a small town in Germany. I start researching people with a similar experience and it turns out it’s a bot or AI thingy (excuse the technical jargon).

The following day, I still had a staggering amount of visitors, but around half. The day following that, the number was halved again and so on. But it is still happening, and it kind of freaks me out, though I don’t know why. I hope it goes away by itself. If anyone knows anything about this kind of stuff and wants to hit me up, I’m all ears.

In other news, I have been having crazy fun with the Bolognese tarot, but soon I will be needing fresh victims, so I’m planning on offering cheap readings within a couple of months.

Finally, although I’ve been getting good feedback from you guys about my youtube videos, I know part of it is also encouragement, and I know I need to improve my craft. It’ll come with time. Still I am grateful for the nice messages!
