The problem with frontends pushing certain posts up based on views is that there is no good correlation between views and content quality. Posts from authors with good networks have more views, regardless of the quality. Hopefully they write good posts and that is the reason they have many followers, but it is not a given. And good posts from authors with few followers will still be overlooked.

You're right and I didn't think about this. I think people automatically feels that good posts will have good views and any post with gold views will be quality. I think on web2, any post with views is considered quality.
I think it still boils down on the fact that individual and users needs to build their following to get traction, just like it'll equally be impossible to get a lot of views on a new account on let's say YouTube.
