Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter, announced a new option for users: a feature that will display how many times each tweet is read.
The "view count" is similar to the already known "impressions" generated by tweets or Facebook posts.
I meet so many people who read twitter every day, but almost never tweet.
If I may beg your indulgence, please add your voice to the public dialogue!

The tweet received a response from user @Spooks who claimed that, although he participates repeatedly, "no one" reads his tweets: "I reply a lot... no one reads my tweets," he replied to the Twitter CEO.
The conversation continued when the tycoon asked the user if he had looked at his tweet analysis, which can be viewed by clicking on the three dots at the top right, and added that the social network will now have the option to display the view count for all tweets.
Those who read tweets outnumber those who reply/retweet/like tweets by more than 1000%.
Twitter will start showing view count for all tweets, just as view count is shown for all videos. The system is far more alive than it would seem.

Since Musk bought the social network, he has insisted that Twitter must become a transparent platform that allows freedom of expression and information. Has promoted various new policies and features to detect bots and verify users.
