could be abused by some "ambitious" users.

Currently "auto-refreshing" Uwes Blog post for testing purposes:

Hi Ulrich,

Yes, we know, the views are not counted per unique users.

Best,

Hello Ulrich, Did it work for you more than once? Because when I refreshed, it did add one view but when I did it again it the count went back to 369 (the original). How many views were you manage to add and what browser are you using?

I managed to increase view count from 2 to 368 or sth. like that by auto-refreshing the browser-tab in firefox using Tab Auto reload.

It is still working, on my way to 400 now.
