I dont think it works that way. At most it would be IP based, which is generally how it works afaik. Since you can view a thread without having an account.

I know each view of a thread by the same person doesn't count each time, since you'll see threads with only 2 views despite opening the thread on different devices (from the same network on the same account).

Either way, they say they base non-bug feedback based on thread size and likes.

Just having a busy thread but no likes means there arent that many people actually agreeing. A lot of the complaint threads, for instance, are full of replies and very busy, but its a small group of people continually replying, and a few randoms spread within.
