Profile view count

[Ghost Rider]

I'd like it to be available in Steam. And likes/dislikes for profiles. What do you think about it?

[かぐや]

Useless and can be abused anyways.

You already have like/dislike counter on your posts like screenshots etc

[FFL2and3rocks]

We don't need to give people a reason to spam even more just to get their numbers up.

I don't really see a reason for any of this. View count is just an useless statistic and likes/dislikes will only make people sad, when they don't get ratio, that they want.

If you really want something like this, feature some artwork on your profile and judge by the views/likes on it.

The obvious problem is that most visitors will not interact with it, and it is possible that some people find it by other means, but the numbers are there if you need them.

Still, as it is, the feature is unnecessary. If you actually create stuff on Steam, the number of followers would probably be more interesting for you.

And when you piss off the wrong people in the forum or MP games, they'll send their army of alts to downvote your profile.

Steam is not social media.
The social part that is available is just an extra, not the main attraction.

Likes/dislikes for profiles I can see it as they have turned into a form of 'artwork'
Websites stopped having visit counters because of how unreliable they are.

No. It would cause people to be sad and mad for the dislikes. People already abuse Post history and abuse other users. We shouldn't have more abuse features till the abuse is under control.

No thanks, we already have enough spam with the stupid awards. We don't need more "please visit my profile, I need more views!!!"

Same with likes and dislikes, we don't need more spam for that. There is also the troll problem. If someone is part of a group on steam or on something like reddit and they don't like you, you're going to get a lot of dislikes. "Hey guys, these people are jerks, go dislike their profile for me." and you will get a lot of people disliking your profile and you will quickly learn why this is a bad idea.

I can tell you for sure, I would dislike any ones profile that supported this junk and I know a lot of others that would do the same just on the principle of it.


If Valve were to ever put something this bad into Steam, it needs to come with an off switch so we don't see it and it needs to be off by default.

And if its off, then not only can you not see it for yourself, but you can also not see it on other peoples profiles and you can't even like/dislike other peoples profiles. And if you turn it off, then all those likes and dislikes should be removed from all those profiles.

And if I have it off, that means no one can leave a like or dislike on my profile even if they have it on.

Why do you look at Steam and think "yes this needs more ♥♥♥♥ measuring contests"

[[?]legit]

Great idea. You have my vote.

A pointless feature and would increase "Please visit my profile and rate it" or "I'm getting harassed by down-voters" spam in the forum.

Thanks but no thanks.

Add the scammers getting alt accounts to mass upvote their profiles

Yes that too.
