RE: Save My Soul

You are very correct about views being meaningless. A view is just someone passing by, not someone stopping to listen. Most social media platforms keep rewarding noise, not conversation. That’s why shallow comments without meaning thrive they’re fast and require no thought. Actual interaction is slow, and this does not do well for ad-driven platforms. So instead of fixing that, they just redefine success as “views” and hope no one notices the difference.
