Commas in numbers over 1,000 in project views, loves, faves, and remixes.
In project views, loves, faves, and remixes there should be commas in large numbers over 1,000.
For example:
10,000,000 <— much clearer!
10000000
No more counting digits, you know the number just by looking at it!

Support, this makes it much easier to read these numbers. It also seems quite easy to implement.

Support for the above reason. Let's say a project has a ton of views. It takes a bit of time to figure out how many it has because you have to count how long it is whereas if there were commas it would be 10x faster.
100000000 <- Took you a bit of time to figure out what number it was right?
100,000,000 <- Probably figured it out way faster.
Not too hard to implement (at least I hope) and will help a lot of people so there's literally no reason to not support this! Although I am worried some project's might have some of the numbers getting close to the Note and Credits box (which is not going to look very good).

Yes most of that is in griffpatch's project Support for the above reason. Let's say a project has a ton of views. It takes a bit of time to figure out how many it has because you have to count how long it is whereas if there were commas it would be 10x faster.

Then maybe the values could display thousands using the letter K? 1000 would be 1k, although this wouldn't be user friendly.

It would look better and easier to read. It also looks more clean and professional. I was worried this will make the character too long, but it’s barely a difference and not may projects have 8 digits. From this, I think the pros outweigh the cons
10,000,000

You mean a dot 1.000?
Sorry but why on earth do you need a decimal comma for numbers over a certain value?
Why over 1000? Why not over 10.000? That's what ICU does on my locale.

I remember my math teacher telling me a while ago that commas are outdated and that spaces should be used instead. I don't know if that was just their preference, but I usually write large numbers with spaces now. Another thing to consider is how this would be interpreted in different languages. For example, I know that in French, commas are used as the decimal separator (eg. 3.14159 would be written as 3,14159), so this change could be confusing for French speaking users. Additionally, I think that some countries use periods instead of commas to separate large numbers (eg. 100,000 would be written as 100.000). This could add complexity on how this is implemented based on the user's language preference.

Support! 43,000,000 is easier to understand than 43000000.
I think it should automatically adapt depending on the language like mentioned above.

Yeah, it will adapt based on your language.

Support. No 252528 would be easier to read.

I think it would be tedious to translate the commas. (For example, in germany decimals use commas and thousand seperators are points.)
