As mentioned before, the view count only includes voters who fully open your poem for reading, not those who see the preview. Most voters read a good portion in the preview box before voting, but those interactions aren’t counted.

Just to clarify, the number of views shown doesn’t fully reflect how many voters have seen your poem. We only count views from voters who open the poem for a full read.

That said, most voters check out a good portion of the poem through the preview box before voting, and those interactions don’t count toward the view total. It’s designed this way to help voters go through entries more efficiently while still giving everyone’s work a fair shot.

In grammatical terms, "There's two of them" is incorrect because the verb "is" (from "there is") is singular, while "two of them" is plural. The correct form is "There are two of them," as the plural subject requires the plural verb "are."
