### Problem Description
Since views are approximated anyway, the many zeroes at the end just waste space and distract. For example instead of `14,000` just show `14K` and for `3,500,000` show `3.5M`.
### Proposed Solution
Maybe add setting to enable/disable shortening

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating where view counts are rendered and where display settings are defined; the work is done when large counts use readable K, M, or B suffixes and the requested enable/disable behavior is resolved and covered consistently.
