I, too, would like to see views tracked. This allows contributors to gauge the performance of an asset in relation to sales. Something that gets 1000 views and 10 sales compared to one that gets 100 views and 10 sales contains more useful information than comparing two 10 sales assets together. Having that information allows contributors to manage, cull, plan and curate their collection more effectively.
Another metric I find useful is overall site metrics like keyword popularity both in positive results AND negative results. If clients are searching for a keyword and finding no results that is more informative than a keyword that receives a lot of results. It allows contributors to plan projects to meet those deficiencies in keyword searches. For example, if a keyword is receiving a lot of hits with low results and a contributor knows they have that content it allows them to take a closer look at their own keyword efficiency. If they don't have content meeting that criteria it allows them to start creating content to meet client needs. Simple supply and demand concept. If we don't know what the demand is how can we supply it?
Overall I am very happy with how Adobe is managing Adobe Stock and I understand it's a learning and growing process. If there is one thing about Adobe's current standing is that they have proven they listen to their customers. It may appear to be a little slow but many of us understand that it's an implementation logistics issue and are willing to wait for these changes.
Thanks for listening.
