I disagree.

If there is a long discussion about which team is going to win the football
championship then it is clearly off topic in this club and the number of readers
is not important.

It is possible to use "count reads" in case that people have different opinions
if the subject is on or off topic(for example book on C++) but count reads does
not give an objective definition for subjects that are on topic.
