How do you mean? the view_count is the number of channel views, it has nothing to do with followers. It’s follower count that is missing from the user object.
The only way I see to get a channels follower count (in Helix as it currently is) would be to use https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?to_id=<user ID> and go over every page (which is silly as the biggest channel I work with has over 600k followers, so would be an insane waste of requests)
