I run a blog! I've done five posts so far, and there have been some interesting readership trends. The view count for each post in chronological order is 49, 32, 59, 33, and 14, though old posts tend to receive a heavy boost in views (like, nearly double the previous amount) when I post something new, presumably from people who didn't read the old ones. It's obviously a small sample size, but there's still been a steady drop in initial readership, with the exception of my third post (possible factors include it being a pop culture post, which tend to capture attention more).
I plan to release a post on April 1, and don't plan on promoting it any more than usual (right now, I mention it on my Discord status and Instagram Story, and very occasionally it comes up in IRL conversations with people).
This market resolves YES if I check my dashboard on the morning of May 1 and there are 25 or more views; if there are fewer views, NO. I promise to conduct the market fairly and not artificially increase my view count (e.g. by visiting my post on multiple devices).

@IsaacKing I mean, sure, you could. I guess that's an inherent limitation in the market, though I would hope you don't blatantly try to manipulate it just to make a profit?
Anyway, I removed the link from the market description so future bettors won't have access to the blog.
@puntabulous Wait, are you saying you don't want publicity? I thought the purpose of this market was to get you more readers.
@Conflux I've considered it, but probably not. I'm known to occasionally pull large-scale pranks, but that would require solid ideas.
