A ‘view’ on a LinkedIn post is NOT like a pageview on your blog

Just putting this up there for all those who think:

a) a ‘view’ on a LinkedIn post is like a pageview on your blog or site. It’s not: it’s a ‘stream view’, a la Facebook, and does not tell you how many people actually clicked and read

b) LinkedIn are consistent and care about their bloggers. They aren’t and they don’t

More: see LinkedIn Community for the full conversation from 2013, and LinkedIn’s Analytics for Your Long-Form Posts, which provides no clarifications on this issue at all.
