I'm going to miss it.  I was working hard at pushing my older work out there and into the world outside of Steemit.  The view counter was my only way of knowing if my efforts were working, and they were.  I scroll along, see an old post with 1000 views, check back a month later and see 200 more.  It was good to know my stuff was still alive.  People can't simply Google my work.  I can't depend on those tricks, so I had to get creative.  One site I use keeps statistics at least, so I can still check there.  It takes some digging though.  I don't always have time for that.
