RE: Why Did Steemit Remove Number of Views Feature on Posts?
Humbled you think I'm an elite user, I think that's far more than generous. But I think it was done for a few reasons. It was easily gamed (just download a chrome extension that refreshes the page), wasn't global (busy, and all other condensers had their own view counts as it isn't stored on the blockchain), and in the end is meaningless considering.
I haven't seen the disucssion around it, so just guessing.
First of all i consider you both i.e a credible witness and an elite user due to all the work that you have done for the betterment of community and the blockchain. :)
Now coming towards the discussion, i think you are right. The feature was prone to manipulation even though it had no direct impact on steem ecosystem / rewards or the blockchain itself.. so good riddance (i think)..
Thank you @themarkymark for your insightful and quick response..
