Are "Views" visible to everyone when embedding in Slack?

See attached. Whenever I share the URL to an article in Slack, it shows the view count. Is that visible to everyone, or just me because I’m logged in?

That shows for everyone – Slack allows sites to embed some metadata that will show up like this, so a long time ago we went with that. But I’m always open to changing it if it doesn’t make sense.

Would you not want this metric to show up? Or should another one go there? For example, Medium articles show reading time there instead, last I checked.

Reading Time would be great. I don’t love sharing the number of visitors personally.
