Do we really need to see this? I’m curious. What’s the use case? I just can’t think of one, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one…

For privacy reasons I’m strongly against that. In my opinion nobody should see when and how often I visit a profile. Sites that show such things creep me out. It takes away from the experience if I have to think every time I visit a profile: “Did I visit this before?”, “Do I look at this too often?”, …

@tgxworld I’d really like to have a site setting to completely disable profile views. It shouldn’t even save those views to the database. And, in my opinion tracking of profile views should be off by default.

Just my 2 cents.
