This is overthinking it. If you’re using a third-party service, it’s their server accessing the content, not you. There’s no “indirect detection” trail leading back to your specific account.

The only conceivable risk is creating a behavioral pattern, like being the first anonymous view a second after they post every time. Just use a reputable service and don’t be predictable. Nobody is investigating their story views that hard.
