Some people say it is a view counter, but that does not make sense. In the example below, there were 4 genuine replies of people who must have looked at the post. Yet the "view" counter only indicated 1! So it must mean something else:
Why is everybody replying to my post so sure it is a view counter? If it was announced, I am curious to read that announcement.
Replies, views and votes don't match:
Votes often do not involve a view, as most votes are by bots. I have checked that in Steemd.com. If you have a lot of votes, often the vast majority was made at exactly the same moment, showing that it was a voting bot programmed to react at the value attribution by a whale.
Although I applaud the initiative for a view counter that shows the number of "real views" (as opposed to votes, which do not necessarily involve a view), it seems this is not it. Or is it?
Thanks for your help and upvote if you were wondering about the same ;)
