First, reading an article doesn't mean I'm super interested in the topic. It could just be that I was curious about the title and didn't need to know more than what was in the article. Second, email is broken (thank you spammers). I don't subscribe to mailing lists because I'm not sure you're not going to give (voluntarily or not) my email address to third parties and most of the time it just clutters my inbox. I probably go on my spam account twice a year. One year later I will be wondering why I receive these emails about vertical farming and why aren't they trying to sell me viagra instead ;-) So yeah page views just means you managed to get some people to click on a link, that's it.
