I confirmed here on meta that the profile views aren’t showing the same giant spike. Instead we have the odd spike here or there (presumably as something is linked via social media).

D’oh, so you did, and so you posted that. 🙈
I have not been able to reproduce the spike on my localhost. But then it isn’t a real site that can get requested from multiple IPs.
So this is only straw grasping.
I’m wondering if it might have something to do with the `skip_redis`
AFAIK Redis is used for cache stuff and has a 10 minute expiry.
Might this somehow be interfering with the default 8 hours for some and not for others?

@HAWK Looks like using [http://discoursemetrics.com/](http://discoursemetrics.com/) exposed a bug on our end.
See [User Profile Views - Extremely High Lately - #7 by tgxworld](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-profile-views-extremely-high-lately/48487/7) for the fix
I’ll be helping you nuke the invalid records once we deploy the fix to you.
