Bring it back!!!

When I first started posting here about a month ago (give or take) Steemit had how many views I got per post. Then steemit, unannounced to me, removed it from the platform entirely!

Why was the steemit community not asked about this! We should have been given a chance to vote on the decision!

A simple google search yeilds that this is a in demand feature on this website!

among other posts...

I thought this was suppose to be a decentralized platform with the direction of the platform moving based upon user input and voting - not arbitrary decisions. But perhaps I'm new enough that I don't know how to get this information.

Regardless, the end result is: I'm pissed off. I liked seeing how many views per post I was getting. But, I'm left in the blind now.

So much for my analysis

I was planning to log the stats - upvotes vs views and try tweaking things to see what types of marketing would do better across steemit... But that plan is smashed. :/ I'm disappointed steemit! Very disappointed.

Hopefully, steemit brings that feature back.
