The discussion Topic view count available from topic itself is about making topic view counts accessible within the topic itself. ganncamp suggests having this stat available, possibly via the wrench menu. However, Stephen points out that topic views are already visible below the original post (OP) if it has responses, and can be accessed on mobile by expanding the bar below the OP. renato thinks the view count should be visible by default and shares a workaround. Moin mentions that a site setting to show the topic map in topics without replies is now enabled by default as part of the topic map redesign.
If I’m looking at a list of topics (New, Latest &etc) I can see the number of Views per topic.
It would be nice to have access to that stat from within the topic itself, rather than having to back out, and find the topic in a list.
It’s reasonable to me that this wouldn’t necessarily be visible by default (i.e. in the topic header) but probably from the wrench menu.
Topic views are visible below the OP assuming it has responses. On mobile the bar below op needs to be expanded to see them:
Desktop:

Personally I think this should be visible by default somehow, but there is a workaround posted recently that I’m successfully using in my community:
As part of the topic map redesign the show topic map in topics without replies site setting was added, which is now enabled by default.
