View Count on Score Pages Replaced by Phrase "Digital Sheet Music"
tl;dr The exact view count that used to be present in posted scores has been replaced by the words "Digital Sheet Music," and I cannot fathom why this change was made.
I've been a member on MuseScore since 2017. For as long as I can remember, when looking at the score, there was an exact view count sitting right next to the number of favorites and comments (as opposed to the approximations you see below a song thumbnail while browsing). Clicking that view count would take you to the specific song's graphical metrics. Personally, I enjoy looking at my metrics and stats of my scores dailyy to see how the graphs change.
Today, when I opened up one of my scores, the view count was GONE. Instead of the exact number of views my songs had, there were the words "Digital Sheet Music". That was it. Nowhere else on the score page was there any kind of view counter. As a result, the only way I could look at my exact views or my metrics was by going to my UPLOAD MANAGER of all things!
Why was this change made? Who thought this change was a good idea?

Yeah, here's the thing, asking for support on musescore.com itself is pretty much futile, nothing ever seems to get answered there.
The help forums on musescore.org get answers much more readily.

No, not really. And, particularly in this case, not at all.
The only people who will be able to answer your question are the musescore.com developers, since your question is specifically about a feature on the website.

Fair enough. Where's the best place to get help on the .com? The "groups" system is fairly nebulous to navigate. I'm trying posting on the pro channel, but I don't think it's gonna help much there :-/
Edit: I found the proper channels, but a) it seems to take a while before anyone gets any official answers, and b) I cannot add or embed images in the musescore.com forums for some reason.
