View count for commets

Meta

I like the link-click-counter you have added:

and I like the “number of views” counter for the topics:

so I wonder if it would be possible to have a post view counter as well?

If I post a comment to a topic it would be interseting to see how many have seen that.

(Also would it be possible to add a similar counter to embedded videos posted?)

None of these are important, only interesting, and fits into the rest of the great work you guys are doing.
I have grown to really like this NG.

Technically we track post views only for logged on users so the number would be fairly skewed (omitting anon). That said., if topics get long we do use that information for the “summarize” topic option.

The concept of “who read my stuff” has popped up before, in particular in private message scenarios. Nothing concrete planned yet in that department.
