Why doesn't Novel Releases support Scribble Hub?

On RR, I used to get views because of Novel Releases, so, when I migrated, I emailed them and told them the links didn't lead to any stories, seeing as I deleted my RR account. They told me they don't support Scribble Hub. Why? A lot of people that are on RR are on Scribble Hub, too. Why advertise the works of RR and snub SH? I don't get it.

Honoku seem to support SH, some of my stories are on there. So does Novel Update. So, why not Novel Releases? (It smarts something fierce because it would net me 500-600 views and around 3 new readers each day. I had RR premium for a month, so I kept a look-out for from where my views came.)

We are not second class citizens, darn it!

NU and SH are sister sights. Also NU only does translated novels. If you're translating a novel on SH it would show on NU, but won't show up on the updates section of SH.

Isn't it just an aggregator site?

I quickly visited the site to check it out, and it seems to serve a similar function to NU, where it simply links the releases instead of hosting them.

So, whether than being an aggregator, it's more like a directory of novels. Which is a good thing IMO.

... Or it would be, if they weren't apparently extremely biased. See below.

But well, no clue. You'd probably need to talk on their forums if they have any to discuss this. I can't really understand why they'd choose to support one website over the other, but... Well, do they actually support any website other than Royal Road?

I quickly skimmed through their list of new releases, and every single link I found ended up linking to Royal Road... I looked at pages 1, 2 and 5 IIRC, and they were all on Royalroad...

This doesn't seem like a proper directory to me. How come Wattpad isn't there for one? It's the biggest western website for webnovels, yanno? This seems... Silly, to say the least.

The site also seems extremely barebones with barely anything existing in it aside from the frontpage and the option of creating a Reading List, so... I guess you just shouldn't worry about it? It's not a very useful site as far as I could see. It seems to simply be a site made to give extra advertisement to Royalroad or something. It wouldn't surprise me if the owner of this site is also the owner of Royalroad.

Do you think my views and readers that came from NR could be...bots? I used to get a lot more views over there. It would be funny if its the case. Considering people over RR think that RR is so much better than SH, only for them to see that their big view and reader count came from a site with bots.

How come my first novel ended up there, then? I sure as hell don't know Mandarin.

I think they can be real users. Maybe they find the UI of NR easier to use than RR's UI, so they use NR to keep track of their RR releases.

I don't know though. I never used either website, so I'm just theorycrafting here... Either way, I'd say they probably aren't bots because it would be kinda pointless to have a website that apparently exists solely to advertise RR suddenly start taking away part of the RR bandwidth by using bots. Seems counterproductive even.
