I'm fucking obsessed with this game man it's perfect

Two weeks ago, I (accidentally) clicked into my Patreon analytics page and was kinda stunlocked by what I saw.

^{A quick note that "Patreon" on here means people coming from email updates, iOS/Android app notifications, or I assume just typing my patreon link and finding the post that way? Probably just the former 2.}

Surely that can't be right? Fourty-nine percent of clickthroughs to my Patreon content comes from Cohost? Twitter doesn't even rank anymore??

I had a split second of being truly stunned until I remembered: I stopped linking to my stuff on Twitter because, well, Twitter's dying, right? Dead website, nobody clicks links, you have to censor P*treon and c0mmission and all that stuff, right? After a second to regain clarity I was still, like, sorta shocked cuz like... my Patreon's doing fine! My numbers haven't spiked or dropped any significant amount, it's just been keepin' on at regularly good numbers because I've been doing regularly good stuff. At least, that was my thought.

Still, I was really curious. I wanted to see where all my traffic would come from if I linked in equal amounts everywhere that I post. So for the next two weeks, the period of time measured that Patreon forces me into for measuring traffic, I linked everything and checked in to see how things were doing. I'll outline the two-week "experiment" past the jump cuz it gets a bit long but before that, here's where my numbers are after two weeks.

Here's details about how it shook out this way:
