Fix View Count?

PostTue Dec 10, 2019 11:11 am

Immediately after posting my last post, I saw a viewcount of 181 for my post (which is totally bonkers) - is there any drive to fix this, so that the viewcount can be trusted?

Bots, likely.

Not sure you want those fully eliminated.

Why wouldn't I want bots eliminated? They do in no way reflect the real number of people who have read a post. And I highly doubt that bots are responsible for over 100 views just seconds after I finish posting something :)

It's how folks outside the forums find the answers they're looking for when Searching.
