How many of these images are there? I cycled through a few and ended up hitting at least one duplicate [1] that I do actually enjoy (but I can't find the name of it now that I refreshed the page, I know it had the verrazzano narrows bridge in the title)
Is there a chance a site like this could ruin their metric by inflating all the views for these lowest viewed items? Or do these not count?

- netsharc 2mo agoThe site calls the API directly (www.artic.edu), so yeah, probably it will ruin^W change the metric. It's probably the creator's idea? Some, ahem, video sites, have "Popular videos". Of course the videos that end up there get more views and get even more popular...
- dylan604 2mo agoThere's no real way to know that they really are that popular or just what the streamer wants viewers to think they are
- Retr0id 2mo agoIf the views are all real views it's hardly "inflating" anything.
- Klathmon 2mo agoIf they're using a static threshold of 200 views and there aren't many of these left it could pull them all out of that category. It could obviously be fixed but I was more curious than anything
- w-m 2mo agoQuerying the API, there seem to be 112998 artworks with this label as of this moment. (I'm deliberately not posting the direct API call in case it's expensive for them to run. Documentation is found here: https://api.artic.edu/docs/#fields-collections-artworks https://api.artic.edu/docs/#fields-collections-artworks)
- w-m 2mo ago...aaaand we're down to 112997 now.
