Will it one day be possible for authors of posts to view analytics (such as view count etc.) on their posts? On EA Forum this is already implemented, I’m curious whether it’s coming to LW too. I’d like it to.
We haven’t historically done it out of a vague fear that it sends people down the same incentive path that has ruined the rest of the web. I’m not sure how well founded the fear is. (Also, maybe separately, because it involves some setup costs that are slightly a-pain)

Ah, OK. Well, that’s reasonable I guess.
