Twitter is now showing how many times tweets are viewed.
Twitter is rolling out View Count, so you can see how many times a tweet has been seen! This is normal for video.
Shows how much more alive Twitter is than it may seem, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don’t tweet, reply or like, as those are public actions.

Tweets are read ~100 times more than they are liked

This is a good feature. As Doomberg pointed out, it means that people who have been buying fake followers are going to be exposed as frauds.
If you've been buying followers on Twitter, this new "views" feature is probably going to be a problem

This is another welcome change to Twitter. Elon continues to make substantive improvements to the service.
I’m still not happy that my original account hasn’t been unbanned, so I guess I’ll have to make a new one and build from a following from scratch.
