Steemit just removed a little but useful benchmark
I noticed steemit.com has implemented a minor change recently, that they removed the view count at the end of the post. I got one lesser reason to visit steemit rather than the more comprehensive busy.org.
I know, the view count is not an accurate benchmark to judge how popular your post is, as it only taking traffic to the very website into the statistic. While other front-end sites like busy.org are not counting the page view, I will still pay a visit on steemit to see how many have read my post because that means something to me other than the payouts.
No idea why they removed this little benchmark but this is exactly opposing my hope for the team to put more emphasis in consolidating the view count as I believe this is the true benchmark to value a content.
I'm displeased by this changes.
Steemit.com 拿掉了在帖子尾端的 View count，我相信点阅数是衡量帖子价值的标准。真无趣，又少了一个使用这个老大哥前端网站的理由，还不如使用更全面的 Busy.org。
yes i noticed this as well... not sure why they removed. it gives me a sense of what is a scam post. it.. a post that receive say 10 votes but the view count is only 1.
Yep, this is really an useful indicator. But it might not be the best thing to look at if you want to differentiate the scam post, as good post might get very low visibility as well.
i have seen posts like "Good Morning" type posts, like a MEME... 10 votes $15 reward.. but only 2 views..
go figure
I actually asked in the group the other day. The view count was not included in the blockchain, it is by the front end with a database called MySQL. So to setup steemit website, you need to install MySQL, I guess is a good approach to remove MySQL from the front end.
Clearly it is only controlled by the individual front end site. But I think it would be better to have it if not enhancing it.
Steemit still at beta, so any can change haha.
对啊 眼睛不见了
我还在想那个 Icon 是什么来着，原来是眼睛，那么快就忘记了，呵呵。
我蛮注意那眼睛的 哈哈 所以一不见也不习惯
以前也曾突然消失過.... 所以，也許過一陣子又會回來？
原来曾经发生过？这是要在这里混多久才碰过的远古事迹啊。BTW，希望会回来吧。
为什么要拿掉呢 ~
等会我打电话问问 @ned
yalor, i also come steemit to see exactly how many people see what i wrote, but now they took it away, sigh
Seems like we have the same habit. Too bad.
Did not notice this
Well, now you do.
