Seems below average to me(?)

ORLY.

Do I really need to give counter-examples to show how this is nonsense?

Almost have 10,000 views with 3k posts.  Your profile views from posts is well above me.

Ah, it's a ratio thing. 

Keep in mind that the profile views will have some sort of saturation point - I doubt whether the standard growth function will be linear. You know, something like:

 

BTW, are those unique views, or not?

EDIT: I saw a 59k views just now, so I suppose it's not unique. I still think I'm below average - I just checked a few random profile stats.

Yes I'm wasting time. Mindlessly browsing vgc to downshift my brain after doing high speed laps in the rain on Spa Franchorchamps. I should go to bed, but it's easier to fall asleep after some white noise, which this thread provides.



I'm basically here when I'm bored, so I don't feel too guilty about it.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Hm it's part of the video game hobby. A hobby is not a waste of time, at least for the one who's got that hobby. Other people may think your hobby is senseless but everybody does think that about some thing.
I've spent a lot of time on games, still don't get why loads of people spend hours of watching other people play on YouTube.

Overall, I think I waste a lot of time, sadly. But it's because I have to wait for things (doctor, public transportation, paying in shops, etc.). I used to read books but that's over. I also play the guitar and make some own music for me to enjoy. So got the OP covered, haha.
I also think this 1st world life is kind of wasting time. You could do so many things. But in the end, I am used to this life and could never give up on electronics and stuff.
But I would love working 30 hours a week instead of 40. That'd be awesome.



I don't play video games that much, although i do waste my life on pokemon :P



I've though about this a lot as well. It is to me a waste of time, every day when I'm done with work and school, I want to get on the internet to look at game stuff, and then the rest of the day is shot. Gaming itself doesn't do it to me, but browsing does. It's like my brain goes into hibernation. I've thought about solutions, because it's really harming my life, I need to become more balanced. Perhaps abandoning the internet in favor of a gaming magazine? It only comes once a month, and is actual reading/more in depth. Or perhaps I should just limit my habit to gaming only. Either way, I would love to hear of some ways to be more productive.
