Res Ipsa Hits 49,000,000

This morning, we passed the 49,000,000 mark in views on the blog. We are continuing to experience a surge in viewers. 2020 was a record year in terms of traffic and 2021 is already surpassing the prior year. The blog continues to grow with new regular commenters and a growing international readership. Again, we thank our loyal readers who return every day to discuss contemporary legal, political, and occasionally bizarre stories. We have used these moments to give thanks for our many regular readers around the world and give you an idea of the current profile of readers on the blog. We continue to rank with the top legal blogs in the world. As always, I want to offer special thanks for Darren Smith who has continued to help manage the blog and help out folks who encounter posting problems.

So here is our current profile:

This morning, we have over 19,653 posts. With the meltdown at Twitter, we saw a notable drop in Twitter subscribers as thousands of people have boycotted the company over its censorship policies. Nevertheless, we are gradually picking up Twitter subscribers again.

1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Australia
5. France
6. Germany
7. European Union
