I wrote another post on this where I also used classic for some 6 years and knew the average view/read counts and since migrating to V7.2 the view counts are almost nil.
Our forum is mostly read by users for techie content and not much new posts but for some reason the view count is being punished if new posts are not being written so those visiting are assume the content is not worth reading and leaving
View counter should not be constrained to write posts.
Today I had 50 people go read one certain post and view counter is at 2
