My site went viral on Reddit last month and I had no idea 🤦

Great story!
That comment form the last guy killed me!

Just to understand, you sold before checking the peak in traffic?

I saw it on Reddit and I upvoted it when it was published (the world is so small haha) because I posted my site on the same subreddit a few weeks ago and I got a ton of visits. At one moment I had 10k visitors online, of course, my site crashed a few times, but Cloudflare was a big help.
Interesting story!

Well, hopefully, the sale was worth it? I know I visited the site when it was on top of Reddit. I cant imagine the DAU is very high so I suppose all the money to be earned by the buyer was done at the peak?

Who knows! Great work on it and I hope your future projects see great success with YOU at the helm.

That last comment got me dead!

Cool story, thanks for sharing

That curve of death...I'm thinking of moving away from blogging because this happens pretty often, you have some article that gets a lot of interest but nobody sticks around to see the next one. For podcasts or YouTube people are already used to subscribing and have a more personal connection to you and the content.
Thanks for sharing!

I can't seem to attach images where I want to here, so I linked the medium article I wrote instead.

tl;dr: Don’t make shortsighted choices like I did :)
