Human Rights articles are the most read themes in the website, indicating higher interest and a trend within readers of nation-wide inclusive demographics. Feminism, or Gender Equality, presents in 40% of the top 100 most read articles in the blog's history. 6 out of the top 10 most read in history pertain to the field of gender equality. This finding reinforces Sbunker's leading role and focus regarding the human rights discourse in the country, a lifelong mission for the organization.

Significant lack of female authors in sectors of Politics and Economy was found, a reflection of the overall national trend of gender inclusion. Only 18% of articles in the fields of Politics were contributions by female authors, and only 20% in the field of Economy. This finding confirms previous research on gender mainstreaming and representation, and indicates a new goal for the organization to promote equality in author representation in these fields of expertise.

Sbunker’s Kosovar readers are highly interested in discussions about human rights, politics and economy, with social critique and education coming up further as more popular reads. On a particular note, the reader has shown very weak interest in ethnic relations discussions – contrary to common consensus within media critique in Kosovo, and even less interest for discussions on welfare policies, which is in direct contrast with Kosovo’s growing concerns in the aforementioned fields. The reasons behind this previously unpredicted behavior are to be further explored, with saturation and a mismatch between readers’ needs and information supply as possible starting points.
