As much as I appreciate your point of view I have to say you're reading too much into this.
I agree that writing for likes & follows is a bad habit and leads to click-bait articles & a lesser quality, but refusing to show how well your articles did isn't a solution: I want to know if the hours / days I spent writing something paid off by having it be read by as many as possible. It's common sense to me and I don't think imposing your solution to everyone is healthy nor fair.
This is more about celebrating people I appreciate and thanking everyone, and if this bunch of "pixels and bytes" annoys you, then you can always scroll further and avoid it. It shouldn't ruffle your feathers so much.
Again, thanks for the input, I'm sure others share your point of view, but I find it a little unfair.
