 i haven’t seen any nips around reporting view count. it’s probably possible in a somewhat privacy preserving way, but could certainly get complicated depending on the approach. do you think view counts would contribute to a lot more creation? 
 In my case, being new and putting out something that I think has value (I guess everyone thinks their content has value) I can't tell if no one is seeing it or if folks are just not interested after having seen it .  If folks are not interested I have other ways I can spend my time ... again thanks for engaging on this... 
 I just browsed through your feed. A few ideas...

1) if you’re new here it can help to chime in with people who are already talking about something you care about and share your own perspectives/opinions on the topic so you’re already gathering with relevant people

2) your avatar/name could be confused for being a bot even though you sound like a human to me, maybe consider adding more human personality (even if pseudonymous) to help people get more comfortable engaging with you

3) some of your posts seem to be reporting on information that looks like it could’ve been pulled in an automated way… I would guess you’ll find your mutuals here if you share your opinions more than reporting on stats/facts

4) there are minimal/no algorithms (yet!) so it’s pretty hard for anyone to find the good stuff anyway, so it definitely takes some work for now — I believe solutions are right around the corner, but not broadly available yet 
 Quick question if you will pardon the intrusion, I am looking to implement Custom Reactions ala NIP-25  in a message generated in a primal client... any pointers on where to look or who to ask about prior art on that ?   I realize this might be question that serves to illustrate, my ignorance, but so be it ...
