How did I manage to get 1 (one) kudos with exactly 0 (zero) hits??

-

I’ve actually asked Support this question before!

This video explains it better than I could hope to. 

Basically, AO3 is a massive website with a lot of interactions from a lot of users all happening simultaneously. In order to make it so that clicking on a work will open that work immediately without a user experiencing a delay, other site functions like tracking statistics are cached. 

Kudos, hits, and comments are all cached but the rate at which they update is different for each. Hits update less frequently than kudos do and that’s how you get a situation like the one in your screenshot. Comment caching is also how you’ll see Comments (52) on a new chapter of a popular work in a big fandom but when you click in to read the comments you can only actually see 23 of them. The system hasn’t had time to catch up to all of the requests on it yet. 

If you want up to date statistics, you can find them on your stats page rather than on the fic itself. The same goes for comments. They’ll be in your AO3 inbox faster than you’ll receive an email notification sometimes. 

I hope that helps!

This is one of those things that make you heavily symphatize with time travelers and there always present question "do I tell them?" And the answer is "Definetely no"
