It is worth to mention that the Royal Road and the Scribble Hub works differently.
Views are completely meaningless on the Royal Road. If you take it completely rationally and logically, you need views, since one needs to look at the book in order to read it, but that's just about it. Number is completely meaningless. There isn't any difference between 900 views and 90000 views. The number itself doesn't count for any leaderboard on the Royal Road. The 56 followers on the Royal Road is total, utter failure, unless you mean 56 followers in the first hour.
However, Royal Road is also the hyper commercial Amazon nightmare which doesn't care for the readers or writers. They are almost comically greedy, as well as predictably terrible when it comes to dealing with people.
The Scribble Hub is different.
It's considerably smaller, and 56 followers there mean something other than disposable statistic. Views, too, matter there. The trending list here is calculated from views. Details how it is done is secret so people couldn't abuse it, but it is very clearly views that matter, or rather the burst of views where a mass of readers suddenly gain interest in your story.
