Why did my total of reads (or gems, if applicable) change as the status was updated from ‘Estimates’ to ‘Verified’?

As we review your reads (or gems, if applicable), we might find issues with corrupted data. It is expected that total will slightly change and only the ‘Verified’ total is to be considered valid and final.

Unfortunately we will not be able to answer questions relating to ‘Estimates’ data, so please wait until reads (or gems, if applicable) have been marked as ‘Verified’ before submitting any questions. The ‘Estimates’ data is only provided to you early for your information so that you can see how your stories are doing compared to each other and provide more timely feedback for your future story ideas!
