⚠️ UX Issues

1. Breaks Privacy Expectations

All major platforms keep story viewers private to the owner only.
Showing it publicly feels unsafe and unexpected.

2. Wrong UX Pattern

Story views are considered private insights, not public information.

4. No Clear Consent

People don’t know their names will be exposed to others.

✅ UX Recommendations

• The viewer list should NOT be visible to anyone except the story owner.

• Show counts only, not identities — e.g., “248 views · 6 reactions.”
