I honestly think the views count on posts is utter rubbish

That is not is surprising or unusual, for many reasons. People see the 'headline' of a post when scrolling their feed, and click on it to see if they if might want to reply to it. Or because they're curious, or because they want to bookmark it for when they have more time without distractions.

Almost every post here has far more views than replies, including the few I've submitted.

That's pretty consistent with all of social media. Things get more views than interactions.

Some people don't have anything to say I guess. And then some are nosey but only interact with their friends groups.

Why should you expect people who read a post to comment on it? Some of my stories have a much lower ratio of replies/reactions to views than the one you quote. I’m just glad that some people are sufficiently interested to have a look.

My most recent post (https://similarworlds.com/random-subjects/whiteboards/4408882-Ninas-Blog-Monday-25th-July-2022) has 46 views, 6 replies, 4 reactions. All of the replies are from people I interact with frequently on SW as are all the reactions.

This seems perfectly normal to me.

It's people being nosey just so they can make jokes out of whatever you've posted, or tell your business to those you're blocked with/from. It's like the pathetic food chain of SW.😏

I mean it just means that more people viewed it that commented on it surely?

That seems a typical response. Not everyone who looks at a post comments or reacts.

sometimes it does make to think why bother writing out posts on similar worlds . maybe a case to the people on at the time they have not got any interest in the topic matter of the post . i think it is one of those things really but do not let it put you off . as with people posting with out this site will go down the pan so keep them coming and take the outcome for what it is [insight1981]
