Found a blog that got exactly 47 views on a post about old train depots

I was digging for info on the old B&O station in my town and found this blog called 'Forgotten Terminals'. The post I read had a view counter that said 47, which is wild because the photos and history were solid. Has anyone else found a super niche history blog with almost no readers?

Does it really matter if a random blog got a detail wrong about a train depot in some small town? Unless you're building a replica of the B&O station for a museum piece, those 47 views might be 46 too many to care about. The photos are probably the main draw, and the text is just filler for the three people who actually fact-check hobbyist train history. Just grab the pics and move on, it's not like it's a peer reviewed journal.

Honestly, 47 views sounds about right. Most of those super niche blogs are just someone's hobby project. The info is probably half remembered or copied from somewhere else. Solid photos don't mean the history is good. Could be full of mistakes. Low views usually means it's not a trusted source. You're better off looking at a real historical society site.

Did you actually find any mistakes in the post, or are you just assuming it's wrong because it's not popular? Sometimes those hobbyists are the only ones who care enough to document the small stuff.
