[edit]Total Reading Time per Month
[edit]I made the plot of how much people are reading each month by multiplying the average reading time per month (in visible length) times the number of views per month. I filtered visible lengths that were negative and I assumed that visible lengths over 1 hour were actually 1 hour long. The total amount of time people spend reading was about 672,349 years. This excludes readers from the mobile app and excludes views from bots.
Here's the data from the plot:
