I was wondering if your own click counts aswell. Otherwise the number of profileviews i get in a day doesn't make sense. It's maybe a bit scary. I log in and out a lot too

Nope. Just tested it.

It was going up at first, sometimes by more than one. That had to have been other people viewing my profile. When I reloaded my profile and the home page repeatedly, the count no longer went up.

I have nearly 100,000 profile views. O_O lol

If so, I would have had a huge amount a long time ago due to my love of looking at statistics and poking around at lists.

I don't think so. I have tried to load my profile and went back to check it again but it never changed.

Pretty sure it only counts other people, I’ve not been around this website for that long so 20k+ views is absurd, they could’ve at least left a friend request yaknow? xD

Speaking of profile views, why do I have 16k profile views and what am I doing to cause this.

You have thousands of forum posts along with hundreds of profile comments and MAL friends, so you are fairly visible.

(And I bet some revisit your profile to see the cool GIF.)

Your own click counts if your sign out. I have 70,000 or something. It's been roughly that since 2016.

I don't really understand either where all these profile views I receive come from when I only see limited number of MAL users in the forum, I guess there are many more lurkers and non-users than I thought

Remember the unregistered ones also count

@BitChilly That 86 Part 2 Kyoukaisen sig might be one of the big factors as to why. Other reasons could be the things that you say in your forum posts as well as your profile design. 👌

@Rinrinka If you played Forum Games, the profile view goes up significantly. A lot of those games revolve around looking the users profile for a certain game requirement (look up favorite characters, last update anime, their profile design, etc.). Even if you just comment on the forums, people will notice and also wanna see the profile. I've noticed my view count go up fast after I started interacting on the forum.

@mokkocchi You mean logged out right? I sometimes check the forum games posts i play, because i just go at many of them at once so i bookmark them. It's links directly to the forum games so i don't that would count. I was kinda afk most of the day today and i had 35,200 views at morning and after i think 12 hours now its 35,320. I guess it kinda maybe makes sense if it's 10 views per hour, mal is a lot more active than i thought.

I think Signature Clicks was something we determined its basically a legacy stat on the clicks on the bascially legacy MAL signature

There are countless bot views when it comes to MAL. For example, some lists got millions of views overnight due to massive bot attacks. Sometime after, staff hid the public list view stats we used to have. Sadly, some of those users actually tried to tell ppl the views were legit smh.. even when it was the manga list only with a million views and their anime list with literally a thousand. As we all know, bots are still a massive problem on the site.


Bots will also view your posted images and links, boosting them to insane numbers. Years ago, in like 2014, Imgur told me I have hundreds of millions of views on the images I host in this club
https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19736
Images not shared anywhere else.. and even a single thread with no replies had over 2 million views on the banner image for it. But all that can't be possible looking at MAL's entire userbase which I heard was like 2 million only recently, makes more sense many views are bots same with the lists mentioned above. Another example is after my Dropbox was crashed by a huge influx of views within hours, Kineta confirmed to me that bots can take a link or page on MAL and spam it many times over as well.


I don't have any real solid proof, but I also think the majority of MAL's userbase is botted. I believe this has been the case since the old days lol.


Many user's hit counters/flag counters are faked as well, I've seen them hide the counters in their signatures using the overflow and inflating their stats lol. Never believe those.

@Shishio-kun I feel like in this day&age all social websites use some form of bots. So i wouldn't be surprised if there are many bots here. Mal does have a lot of random marketing bots that post on cd sometimes.

Only my salary has six digits (in 円).

I do not troll kids about their favourite cartoons 24/7 like some people after all. This year, I log in every 6-10 days on average too.

But I find it honestly hilarious to see some people above who take seriously the innocuous bragging of this thread; no one can derive any pride from a high number of profile views... It is as meaningless as the number of followers on Twitter.

P.S. Any resemblance to a real person or organisation in this message is purely coincidental.
