Shoutout to the analytics dump that killed my engagement obsession

I read a breakdown of a 10 million view reel where the creator admitted 80% of views came from one random share on a Discord server, and it hit me that virality is less about your content and more about who happens to latch onto it, so has anyone else stopped chasing metrics after seeing a similar back-end story?

Had a buddy whose cooking video got 2 million views because a meteorologist shared it during a weather segment, still can't explain that one. Watching that analytics dashboard just becomes watching a slot machine after a while.
