>>9923Views are a useless measure and have been for a long time. Facebook goosed them on video, they're fake and inflated by bots on X, and every shortform video platform benefits from being able to report the metric x10. YouTube's used to at least appear consistent, but that's not lasting either, already after they fucked their own shit up with Shorts.
