I thought only buyer views were counted?

I'm not sure about that but some of the inspectors could be buyers as well.
Isn't the case that only buyers who aren't contributors have their views count?
I did a forum search on 'Views', since I'm sure I've seen this clarified there, but the search is so useless and the site so slow, I haven't tried beyond the old or irrelevant posts on the first page of the search results.

Contributors views are counting -- I don't think they're supposed to, but they do.

These posts are from early 2012. How do you know that still applies since the View system change of September 2013?

because I have a friend who sometimes comments on istock me my latest photos before they are published, which is possible because of this script, and its views are recorded

Not sure I like that explanation - prefer to think it's just a bug in their view counter.  These are not 'not published' images as they are languishing in a review queue so (should) not viewable except by IS or someone with my login credentials - the implication is that someone just needs a greasemonkey script to browse anything including financial info for anyone - also my creative network is on the small side  ;)

Apologies. A little experiment with one of my CN would seem to confirm this. He looked at one of my files which had only just come into my port, and I looked at one of his older files with no views. Both then recorded a view, which is unlikely to be coincidental.
