I guess I would say that I think the number of views should be in the “secret formula” but it should bear a much lower amount of importance than the other ingredients. If you look at a cake and decide you don’t like it, you aren’t going to comment or make it a favorite. Usually though I think the thumbnails are big enough that most of the views are because you can tell from the thumbnail it’s a cake good enough or interesting enough to further investigate. This is my humble opinion. Thanks for posting, tortacouture. :)
