How come we see the number of people who dropped the story.

What does that accomplish? I prefer to see the total number of readers decrease than see the number of readers who dropped the story.

yeah it is a bit of a bummer to see another follower and find out it's a person who dropped your story

The drop system can be rigged too. Someone can add and drop your work serveral times

Technically you only see the number of people who added your story to a reading list so they could filter it out of searches. Oh, also so they could rate it.

The number of people who actually dropped your story is probably much higher. :)

I mean some people accidentally put stuff they're reading list in their dropped list

I have a specific reading last made so I can drop a 1 star and delete it from my reading lists after dropping because I'd rather forget it exists

Exactly this. The "dropped" statistic refers to people who created a custom reading list with the "dropped" category as it's header, and then added your story to that list.

People who just remove your story from their reading list don't register as "dropped."
