Did you notice that even though this post has 127 votes, it only has generated 8 views of the video! I wonder how many views of the video that works out to relative to views of the post. Unfortunately we don't get to see how many views a post gets. I think having this additional stat would be very helpful, especially for getting people to pay for post boosting.
Wow that is a great idea! I wish they had that too. I feel like many people vote without opening the article haha.
Yes, I think a ton of the voting happens without opening the articles. I wish that voting was either steeply discounted or not allowed at all if the article isn't voted upon. The way it is working now seems like people just jump on the bandwagon when they see something hot and vote it up regardless of the content itself.
