RE: Question and Answers: Why Steemit doesn't have a view counter?
I think the view counter is neglected because the opinion of the piece might not be a positive one and it could affect the algorithm, as far as the ratio of reads to actual upvotes, and have a negative impact on the poster's reputation.
Oh I agree... although i have seen some articles get 100s of likes on FB and maybe a dozen upvotes. For example... one of my articles had been clicked from facebook and read 300 times and had 21 upvotes. I doubt that many who read it were in steemit but I would much rather not to have to use facebook insights to gauge readership. I want to be steemit self efficient :-)
