1M VIEWS NEWSLETTER

Why do you people like this website?

Seriously.

I mean, I like it too.

But I'm supposed to be biased.

One million views later...

the lights are still on.
the story is still going.
and you're still here.

Thank you.

1 MILLION PEOPLE?! THAT'S A LOT!

Hello everyone.

It's me again.

Oliver.

Yesterday I was looking at my Neocities profile, Then I saw a number.

1,000,000.

At first I thought:

"Huh."

Then I looked again.
Still there.
One million views.

Even if 10% of them are bots, that's still a ridiculous amount of people.

Hundreds of thousands of real human beings.
People with hobbies.
People with homework.
People who should probably be sleeping.

All ending up on this website at some point.

That's weird.
And kind of amazing.

THE JOURNEY

The funny part is that this website wasn't supposed to become... this.

Back when I started it in September 2025, it was basically an HTML test.

I barely knew what I was doing.
Most of the time I was just pressing buttons and hoping the website wouldn't explode.

It usually didn't.

i was supposed to add a funny early image of my website. but i have none.

Then somehow people started showing up.

A few people became a lot of people.
And then...

A LOT of people.

I think the first big thing was Deltadle.

ElliotOnline made a video about it.
Then more people found it.
Then more.

Then somehow even bigger creators started playing it.

Which is still strange to think about.

But honestly?

The streamers aren't the reason this happened.

You are.
Yeah, You.
The person reading this.

Without visitors, websites are just files sitting on a server.

Kind of lonely, actually.

Every click mattered.
Every visit mattered.

Even the person who accidentally found my website while searching for something completely unrelated.

Especially that person.

And yes.

Even the bots.

Thank you, mysterious bots.
I hope indexing my website was worth it.

THAT'S FAST!

The craziest part?

A couple months ago, around March, the website was sitting at about 500k views.

Then somehow it doubled.

Just like that.

Maybe it was because I updated a bunch of pages.
Maybe it was because of search engines.
Maybe it was luck.

Probably a combination of all three.

Either way...

RESUME

One million is a number I never expected to see.

So thank you.

For visiting.
For sharing.
For playing my games.
For spending even a few seconds of your day here.

The first million starts at 1.

And somehow...

we're already there.
