Do view counts tell you if a post is good?
A raw view count is a number without a denominator — and the denominator is the whole point.
On their own, view counts do not tell you whether a post is good. The same 10,000 views can be a 15× breakout for a small account or a below-average post for a large one. What tells you is the baseline multiple — the post's engagement divided by the median of that same account. That gives the view count a denominator and turns it into a real signal.
Posteriks finds posts that beat their own account baseline in your niche and helps you build your own version — not a copy. Check your own post free →
This is why creators who chase absolute numbers burn out: the target keeps moving with audience size. Judge every post against its own account, using the content outlier lens.

FAQ
So are views useless?
Not useless — just incomplete. Views matter once you place them next to what that same account normally gets.
