Why don't numbers have commas?


Because some places, like Europe, use the comma symbol as the decimal point, so pi would be 3,14159...


That doesn't make sense. Everybody knows that the number of views a post has is an integer, it doesn't really cause that much of a confusion for anyone. Most europeans are used to it.

What they should do is display the right separating symbol depending on the user's location.


I wonder the same thing about youtube views count


I do see commas on YouTube's views count.


I sometimes see commas on YouTube's views count, seriously. I think it depends on your location.
