I mean : Look at this guy's post
Well , besides the obvious subjective view of every blogger here we do not have a lot of info to really make an objective analyses of every post's outcome , have we ?
It always boils down to " I did not catch any whale " , " This is a rich get richer jerk circle" , " Only tits get upvoted here ! " .
I have addressed this here
I mean : Hell , all of you can see exactly how much Steem I have in my wallet at any given time and were it came from too. Any other social network does not provide such info , Facebook for example.
If I'm wrong here please leave a comment , I did not researched this too much ... talking about educated guesses, right ?
I would even go a bit further by showing the user level distribution visit count.
Example : You just posted and received , let's say , 8 upvotes in total.
Breakdown :
You can already see who upvoted you , I will not go into this.
Viewed by 28 "dust" level accounts totaling 0% of total stake and received 0 upvotes.
So you would understand you had some reach in this category but none upvoted you.
Viewed by 126 "newbie" level accounts totaling views from 0.00135% of steemit stake but received 3 upvotes.
So you would understand you had some reach and if all these accounts would have upvoted you , you would have been payed 0.00135% of the total steemit stake available , unfortunately only 3 of these accounts have upvoted you meaning you received one upvote per 42 user views.
Viewed by 12 "user" level accounts totaling views from 0.00209% of steemit stake but received 4 upvotes.
So you would understand you had a ratio of one upvote from every 3 views , great , but you reached only 12 "user" level accounts. Anyways , you reached 0.00209% of the total stake and received 0.00069% stake from upvotes.
Viewed by 3 "superuser" level accounts totaling views from 0.00455% of steemit stake but received 0 upvotes.
Understandable you had a very low reach in superuser accounts and absolutely no upvotes.
Viewed by 7 "hero" level accounts totaling views from 0.10170% of steemit stake but received 1 upvote.
So you would understand you had a ratio of one upvote from every 7 views , or maybe it was just some luck...
Viewed by 0 "superhero" or " legend" level accounts : Ok , this really means you had bad luck...
Absolutely no whale saw your content , that's life.
At least you can stop second guessing yourself about post quality and start thinking about posting times.
You know 176 users have seen ( or at least read 3-4 lines ) you post and that 8 of them have upvoted you ,
You know you just had no luck in catching a whale because of timing , nothing else.
You know you had one upvote for every 22 users views on your post. Maybe it's a good ratio , maybe not , we don't know until it is implemented giving you an opportunity to compare your results to the , lets say , 7493$ post you saw in trending.
Whales could use this as a search criteria once a day to look for especially unviewed posts , that could have some great potential , but where lost in the Steemit "underground".
Bloggers could use this analytics to stop second guessing the timing , the title , the content or the formating subjectively.
Frustrated Bloggers could be presented with some actual data about the view count and maybe realize the harsh but truth fact : Some posts are viewed , but just don't have what it takes to be upvoted.
( Yeah , I hate Drama-Queens ! )
