Is it even worth it using that site? Views are rare, the site malfunctions, is slow.
Besides, their artificial "intelligence" algorithms get me wrong all the time, suggesting me lots of papers that are not mine and trying to force me to pay all the time.
It seems I'm not the only one to have realized this, look:

I have never done any payment although i was repeatedly asked to pay.

For me it is also the same,I have also never done any payment although i was repeatedly asked to pay.
I will add something from my personal experience: posting papers on Academia.edu platform shortening the period for recognition of your paper by Google Scholar crawl...
Dear Jose Risomar Sousa ,
I fully agree with you, as you said:
-Views are significantly lower than those on RG (indicating low activity of their ‘members’)
-90% or so of their site is only accessible once you have the premium version (for which you need to pay)
-With you I doubt their promises (like their “you are mentioned in … number of papers” feature)
-The site simply lacking possibilities to interact with members
I just use the (free version of this) site:
-As another platform to make my work visible for interested readers (though with disappointing number of views)
-As said by Anton Vrdoljak I have some indications that Google Scholar pick up more (and faster) your publications
Altogether I think they must get rid of their paid version, otherwise it would not surprise me that they will stop their operation within the coming 1-2 years.
Best regards.
