Might be a problem with their analytics because I know there should be a few views on mine because I've watched from multiple IPs and seen someone else watch it live to test something. Still 0 views. nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5

I think social feedback within the #Nostr environment is *deeply* ignored and undervalued. People want to jsut kinda beat their chest about "not caring about views or follows" or whatever, without realizing that they and everyone else uses it as a fundamental, first line filter for content. And it's not like "some people are above this," to the contrary its foolish not too. There is so much crap out there, that regardless of the trade offs of doing so, navigating content without that filter is an absurd proposition. It's very much like reviews - the overwhelming majority of people simply do not even entertain products with a 2 star review. People simply don't have the time to have simple filters taken away from them.

In that context, I get that stuff doesn't update sometimes, pulling that information might be difficult in certain circumstances, etc. But that sort of data NEEDs to be prioritized or you will never keep creators in this ecosystem. They want to know people are seeing their stuff, or they will leave and wonder why they wasted so much time trying.

Also nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 this is something that you should look into adding as well. Would be cool since nostr clients don't have view data and it's hard to aggregate from multiple relays anyway. Inherently complicated to parse that info.

So if people posted to nostr.build and could see how many viewed the file, and exclude the npub of the account itself, that would make a big difference. Also might encourage people to use it since it gives them a central place for the content and to see how their network reach is.
