In my profile it says the impact reached is 214k people. How is this possible? I checked all of my answers and questions and there is no way they total up to 200k+ people reached. Is this a bug?

It's not a bug, but it can be confusing if you aren't familiar with how it works.
It's the sum of your question views + the sum of the views of a question you have an answer on that meets certain criteria.
The logic behind the "impact reached" total is explained on this Meta Stack Exchange post:
- Questions * Non-deleted only
- Answers - Views of the parent question for answers that are:
- Non-deleted AND
- Score > 0 AND
- Not self-answers AND
- Also meeting one or more of the following criteria:
- In the top 3 answers OR
- Is the Accepted Answer OR
- Score at least 5 OR
- Has at least 20% of the total vote count

Yeah but I checked and it doesn't add up accordingly, all answers that I posted to big viewed questions all have scores of 0 Commented Feb 21 at 19:41

@DialFrost What was your methodology of checking this? What did you do?– Timmy Jim ModCommented Feb 21 at 19:42

@DialFrost are you expecting it to be more or less than 214k?– Timmy Jim ModCommented Feb 21 at 19:43

4@DialFrost this answer by you should meet the criteria (its a top 3 answer since there are only 3 answers and it has a Score > 0), which this one single answer alone nets you ~177,000 views.– Timmy Jim ModCommented Feb 21 at 19:45
