I agree with you fully. Anyone can earn a lot of rewards, even on shit posts by spending some sbds/steems on the boys. The sum of rewards doesn't determine if a post is in fact popular or good. The first time I didn't see the 'eye', I was on my new phone, so I thought it's because of this phone; I know, "how dumb of me" but I think my subconscious was actually hoping that to be true, so it planted the silly notion in me. However, when I logged in using my laptop, it was all the same, and I was disappointed. We need that viewcount, and I hope it will be back soon enough inshaAllah. Thank you for writing this post, I was hoping someone would mention it. I'm resteeming this to spread the message. Everyone should be concerned about this.
