I don't avoid low view count videos because...say I get a notification that RedLetterMedia has just published a new Best of the Worst. It's been live for 4 minutes. Of course it's going to have a low view count.

I'm looking for a repair video on the specific make and model of Dell laptop I have. I've seen exactly two of them in existence, not a popular model. It's going to have a low view count.

I think it is useful information to have, it shouldn't be entirely hidden like the downvotes are, but I don't think it's necessary on the home page.

Date uploaded though...that needs to be there.

Yeah, I agree that it shouldn't be hidden entirely, and luckily as it stands now it's still visible on the view page if it's hidden on the home page
