Reddit received approximately 450 million page views in December 2014, while Hacker News received approximately 3.25 million.

I just looked, and HN had well over 60M page views that month. The Reddit number is likely way too small as well.

Yeah. Both numbers seem very low. Are they confusing monthly visitors with page views?

Pretty sure on DEC 2014, the monthly page view for reddit would be near a billion and HN would be in the tens of millions.

I'd be really interested in more HN stats. Could you guys maybe publish an article about them?

I'm curious to know where they got those numbers; I couldn't find a citation for this in the paper.
