I agree with you, but unfortunately the view count was removed in the latest update. You can read about it and share feedback in the announcement thread: https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/new-thread-listing-design.2456534/

that a really bad update. what if a new seller that has not yet popular? marketing is to get a lot of people to pay attention and then new buyers come in to buy
1. View counts were being abused as many sellers who were using bots to increase their numbers so those numbers were never accurate. We had anti-bot features and monitored for this, but it was a waste of resources and time in most cases.
2. As a buyer, it should not matter how many views a thread has. Obviously older threads will have more views then newer, so it makes it harder for sellers when they create a new thread to compete against older threads.
3. While views can show buyers what stores are popular, so can feedback, which is more important. Any seller can get high view counts on a thread, but it's much harder to have a higher feedback count.
We will be adding back 'view counts' inside a thread in the future, but it will not appear on the thread list page.

then you don't need to add them back in the future. After all, it's useless if you won't. Displays the number of people who viewed the post on the list page

People first time coming to this website will notice only a few things in the first place.
The number of viewers on that post.
- and then go in to check the credibility
and it is important for
very new buyer
new seller
- More people viewing the post
- People come to buy things from sellers
- The seller is trusted by the buyer.
- buyer +1 in the post for the seller
But if there is nothing to bring popularity to the new seller, then how can the seller be interested in buying from the seller?
New sellers should be at a disadvantage because they have not proven themselves. Most scams are conducted by new members and the view counter only made it easier for them.
The View count created a fake popularity system that allowed scammers, who were the most common to abuse the view counter, to make their threads appear popular and trick potential buyers. Those buyers saw the large number of views and often decided to trust the seller who then scammed them offsite.
If you're a legit seller and new, then to start out it might be a little harder because you have no feedback. However you can upgrade your account, submit ID (free) and offer deals to try to build up some feedback. After a few, it should become easier for that seller.
View count is useful to the seller to see how many potential buyers viewed their sale thread, this is why it will be added inside the thread.

how new seller can self proven ?
In the middle of many sellers, why would a buyer be interested in buying from a new seller?
selling at a low price to steal the buyer ?
giving away free items. yay! ?
I think, it just my personal way of thinking, everyone is a new seller here once. And "we" seems just fine. Even if someone if a new seller, there will always a way buyer will find you if the thing that you sell worth to catch tho.
