Is anyone else getting a crazy number of Page Views with GA4?

Run a sports forum and our team is doing well but even so I’m registering nearly 4 million page views a month which is huge compared to my usual about 1.2 million on the old analytics.

Also, Google AdSense is showing only 200K or so page views even though i have ads on every page.

For the last 28 days getting in GA4
