I think the post views feature disincentivizes engagement.

Users who join are going to see a ton of people looking at their posts and not engaging and then just avoid the platform due to lack of engagement.

It's not a positive experience when you see a lot of people looking at your posts and not interacting. It makes people feel bad... and if I know anything about humans, it's that we avoid the things that make us feel bad.

It can also foster bad blood between people if they know you saw their post/notification and didn't interact/respond.

Not to mention it's a huge privacy issue when you're just casually scrolling the feed and everyone can see every post you just happened to come across. This is another reason people will shy away from the platform.

I think it should just show how many views your post got and not who viewed your post.

But the total post views on profiles should stay though.
