We keep track of how many Followers.

We keep track of how many Following.

We keep track of how many Boosts.

We keep track of how many Favorites.

Obviously people care enough about these metrics to make some statement that Mastodon does track and share popularity.

Does Followers, Following, and Favorites matter?

If they do not, why do we insist on showing them? Likewise with Boosts and Favorites.

I find no harm in showing metrics for Profile Views.
