Are the mods the real AHs?

Why then does my removed post keep getting shares? I have no one to share it with and have not done that.

Are the mods sharing it? I know the views go up if I return to the post. If someone could actually explain how shares keep going up on a removed post that would be super helpful. I'm here to learn.

The responses from my assigned mod on that post were pretty cruel and gaslighting, especially given the context of the post I was trying to get community support from.
