RE: Flaws on the 'views' element of Steemit.
Thoughts:
1, as of now, it doesn't matter to anyone but the author, honestly, or as insurance against Grumpy and other big fish that like to downvote high payouts without many views.
2, it should. It should be set to record unique views to give better perspective on readerhship
3, views, along with votes, and not just payout amount, should be calculated more heavily in the "trending" algorithm.
Agree on all three accounts. It grinds my gears that people get huge payouts with low views...however, people can cheat to get higher views. Stopping bots and working on 'unique views' should create a good account...if that is possible. (Ps this is on my author account its sarah, in case of confusion !)
