What does the View count in a conversation mean?

I started a conversation with another user. The View count is now 2, the user didn’t reply.

Does 2 mean the user read the message I sent? When I refresh the page it stays at 2, so it can’t count up for the conversation starter.

The critical background to this question, hence why it’s important what that number shows:

A user 1-starred one of my assets with a reason that’s actually not related to my asset, but with the Unity Engine itself. Even though I’m not getting paid for helping novices with Unity, I offered to help and sent the solution via a conversation. If 2 means the user read the help message, but ignored that I volunteer to help for free, then I’ll send that to support and have that review removed. Simple as that.
