`view_count` data of users/channels has been removed by Twitch

[bastimeyer]

The view_count data has just been removed by Twitch and now always returns 0: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-users

Field	Type	Description
view_count	Integer	The number of times the user’s channel has been viewed. NOTE: This field has been deprecated (see Get Users API endpoint – “view_count” deprecation). Any data in this field is not valid and should not be used.

Their reasoning here: https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/get-users-api-endpoint-view-count-deprecation/37777

This needs to be removed from the Twitch GUI now. Will do this later today or tomorrow...
