Fake accounts are not as big an issue for Hive as they need some HP behind them to make any difference. Strategic voting is toxic if it does not take account of actual content.
The views number was not accurate enough to be useful. I tend to judge posts by the real interaction they get. Anyone can get hundreds of tiny votes, including me.
Perhaps,
I don't know if we can reliably measure views across the various Hive dapps. In the old days there was just Steemit.
I'll judge the interest in a post by the comments it gets rather than the votes.
Even so, some view-time statistics are better than no data.
I'd still really like to see page views over 20 seconds.
