Search does needs some help.
Eyes on posts is hard to coordinate across the many servers serving up content.
There are ways to get a 'light' account that don't require maintaining your own keys, but the purpose of blockchain is to ensure the integrity of ownership over the account, and that requires a full account and personal control of keys.

Have you ever asked a witness about the search function?
Do you know that for sure? When I started at Steemit in 2017, there were always eyes at the end of a post. At some point, this function was discontinued. You're sure it's because of the many servers and nothing else? Although technically I cannot understand this statement already.
Can't both be valid side by side? Surely the purpose of integrity via one's own account does not contradict allowing guest comments? I've often thought that it's rather a hindrance that only registered users can comment, it shields the content from the outside world and you don't know who outside the blockchain ever reads a Hive article. Of course, I don't know if that would be technically feasible at all. Unfortunately, no one gave answer to this question. You are the first one.
How is that working?
Most of the coding being done is aimed at more pressing issues.
At some point, somebody will get to it.
Yes.
When you can get the content served from peakd's servers, ecency servers, dbuzz servers, or hive.blog servers all those servers would have to aggregate views.
That is not happening.
If you use peakd, they have analytics, unless you use the brave browser.
But, their data is only peakd data, no other servers are coordinated with them.
Yes, it was on
steemit.com, was served from one set of servers and was easy to aggregate.They removed it because it could be gamed by repeated reloading of the page.
They are currently.
I forget which ui's allow light accounts by registering your account with an email and maintaining your keys until you are ready to hold them yourself.
I'm pretty sure splinterlands does this, and that they are not the only one.
thank you for taking the time and giving me those infos. Appreciated!
No problem.
Free and open source is different than what we've had.
My world is improved when you have better data to base your decisions on.
