Do you have much influence?

[Unkotare]

But still, I envy people with thousands or hundreds of thousands followers.

That's pathetic.

 

[Man of Ethics]

Doesn't address the actual point.

Anyone with 110 million followers is a genius. He is not ethical -- he joked about killing Jews, but even unethical person can be a genius.

That is unbelievably pathetic. You really need to develop some self-respect.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

I guess.

But the followers and fans online are so quick to abandon you. Someone finds a post or a pic from 20 years ago and suddenly you are a villain.

I second everything you've said so far in this chat, this message especially. Should a bad fruit be found, too many people then grow the impression that everything else in the basket will be rotten too.

God bless you always!!!

What is the correlation between an average post and a person-minute of media time consumption?

In 2019, on Reddit {Reddit’s 2019 Year in Review - Upvoted} there were
199 million threads started
1.7 billion comments
32 billion upvotes

In 2018, Reddit got 1.6 billion visits and 168 billion page views -- which would translate to 2.3 billion visits 230 billion in 2019 page views with 37% growth rate. An average visit lasted 16 minutes {Reddit Statistics For 2021: Eye-Opening Usage & Traffic Data}.

Hence, we conclude a very rough conversion

1 post (thread starter or comment) = 1.2 visits = 19 person minutes of media consumption

 

[Man of Ethics]

Other Sources give a different number of comments {Reddit User and Growth Stats (Updated Oct 2021)}:
2018 -- 1.2 B, 2019 -- 1.7 B, 2020 -- 2 B.

In January-July 2021, Reddit had 1.68 B visits {Reddit User and Growth Stats (Updated Oct 2021)} which translates 2.88 B visits per year. Once again
1 post (thread starter or comment) = 1.2 visits = 17 person minutes of media consumption

Why do you believe that joking about killing Jews is unethical?

Are you not a fan of dark humor?

Or are you a Jew?

I am Jewish. I do not use electricity or Internet on Sabbath or Holidays. An Orthodox Jew would never use Social Media like this forum but I am not Orthodox.

 

[Muhammed]

I am Jewish.

Why do you Jewish women wear two piece bathing suits?

Why do you Jewish women wear two piece bathing suits?

Never heard about it before.

 

[Muhammed]

Never heard about it before.

You're not a Jew.

All Jews know that you have to separate the milk from the meat, otherwise it's not Kosher.

 

[Man of Ethics]

As I have said, no Orthodox Jew would use Social Media where Junior High language prevails.

I do keep most Kosher.

Once again 1 post (thread starter or comment) = 1.2 visits = 17 person minutes of media consumption

Also equals to about 20 post views.

Of course nanoessays which are thread starters get more page views. Nevertheless, impact of common people is miniscule compared to impact of Internet celebrities.

 

[Man of Ethics]

I made about 25,000 -- 30,000 posts on several message boards, and other Social Media. Many have more posts here.

That is about 600,000 page views or as many person-minutes of influence. That is literally thousands of times less then influence of many famous Twitter or YouTube influencers.

Is it ethical for a poster to bump his own posts by responding to himself?

Is it ethical for a poster to bump his own posts by responding to himself?

Only if the posts reveal an important metric relevant to all people who post here.
