"X people are looking at this product" counters widely faked

I’m also a bit suspicious of the live stats on “Pay what you want!” bundles I’ve seen, especially the “average” amount paid for the bait and switch Stack Social pay what you want bundles where you actually have to pay above the alleged “average” to get the full bundle. Given that stack social routinely and outrageously lies about the “original” pricing and the percentage off discount, there is no reason for me to think they wouldn’t also lie about the stats for the pay what you want bundles.
