    The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.

    Assuming this is the info box in new Reddit, those stats always felt… wrong

    The difference between comments/votes and supposed “views” made it seem like the later was inflated.

    Even more obvious was when something got posted at odd hours of the night in a local community. The view count would take off shortly after, while the comments and votes would only show up around when people wake up.
