Let's open a friendly debate about the popularity of this website and the Cock Hero genre in particular.
Personally, I've been a user since many years now. Not always active, though, since I tend to disappear from time to time and come back to see what's new. This behaviour maybe won't let me engage with the community very frequently, but makes me notice a progressively smaller user base in this section of Milovana.
So I started looking at Google Trends to see what is the rough evolution. Note that this graph is relative and not showing the total number of searches, but a percentage.
The blue line shows the Cock Hero interests, and the red line shows the Milovana interests. In the past 5 years:

To read these trends, keep in mind that the vertical grey lines (Notes) mark a change in the Google's algorithms, which explains the big changes in those periods. Also, Cock Hero is more popular than Milovana because some people watch them outside this website.
In both curves we can see a slow decline on the interest of this genre. We still have a healthy community, but what worries me is the fact that less people are engaging here, hence meaning less releases. Maybe it's because of the amount of work needed to make productions, or maybe is because the topic is not as 'social', for obvious reasons. You can even notice outside that many people who are searching for Cock Heros (like in reddit) don't know about this website. And since this is the main platform to produce new videos and share knowledge, not many new creators will take the chance to join and start editing.
I know I'm offering a rather pessimistic view on the topic. So, what is your view? Do you agree or do you disagree? How do you think we can promote this website and this genre to attract new people? I'm reading you!
