How many of these images are there? I cycled through a few and ended up hitting at least one duplicate [1] that I do actually enjoy (but I can't find the name of it now that I refreshed the page, I know it had the verrazzano narrows bridge in the title)

Is there a chance a site like this could ruin their metric by inflating all the views for these lowest viewed items? Or do these not count?

The site calls the API directly (www.artic.edu), so yeah, probably it will ruin^W change the metric. It's probably the creator's idea?

Some, ahem, video sites, have "Popular videos". Of course the videos that end up there get more views and get even more popular...

If the views are all real views it's hardly "inflating" anything.

it keeps saying "failed to load" for me. through the magic of the developer console, i can see that the api calls are working but the actual image requests are not. it seems that this is a case of an overzealous cloudflare turnstile setup since if i open the image links in a new tab and pass a challenge i can view them.
