You're right, but I do feel that if frontend on Hive has ads then maybe views on posts will become relevant, if not the views itself is not relevant whatsoever.
However I've seen creators drive some food traffic with review posts and all that, inasmuch as this might not have intrinsic value, I think it's actually commendable, and there's nothing wrong with putting constant exposure to what we have here our there.
In any case, these are all speculations and will probably not work any time soon.
Thanks for the input
