Sales are the least important factor in any storytelling. It’s just another way capitalism is forcing people to focus on the wrong things. The only people who should care about sales are the damn parasitic owners that rake in the profits.

MODERATORS
Sales, in this context, indicate that people are reading the manga. It's not literally about the money; it's a popularity metric. Seeing as the author most likely intends their work to be enjoyed, popularity is a fair measure of success. If we lived in a post-scarcity or Communist society, this post would just read "7th most downloaded" or something.
