Number of viewers of Trump‘s interview with Tucker Carlson exaggerated, Washington Post reports

[Conservative from Georgia]

You must’ve heard right wingers say how Donald Trump‘s interview with Tucker Carlson in Twitter got a gazillion million views and therefore a gazillion million viewers and therefore a gazillion million voters.

It turns out that any time anyone scrolled past the tweet containing the interview, it was registered as a “view”.

“X’s “views” metric, implemented by new owner Elon Musk, doesn’t actually measure how many people watched a video like Carlson’s. Rather, it registers every instance of his tweet appearing on any user’s screen, even if they never click on the video. So if you log into X, its algorithm puts Carlson’s tweet in your feed, and you scroll past it without watching, that counts as a view. The metric also counts multiple views of the tweet from the same user, including by its author.”

Cut them by half and it’s still way the hell more than the muppet show on Fox.

How could it be more? Did you not read that people who scrolled past it count as views?

I think you read it, but you’re playing dumb about it

If you cut the number and half, it’s still doesn’t mean half the “views” represent people who watched the interview.

LOL. No matter how you slice the pie, more watched Trump/Carlson than they did the debates.

Meanwhile in Bidenville...

Pathetic gaslighting spin attempt, loser!

Oh shit, it gets worse. If one user viewed the tweet more than one time, each time counts as a view. Ha ha ha ha. And these morons were here saying that Trump will get 200 million votes in 2024 because the tweet had 200 million views.

Even though a total of 160 million voters voted in 2020. That’s adding Trump and Biden together. And these gaslighters still played them about the view metric.

I watched the view count... it was over 200 million views... the single largest viewed interview in internet history....

 

[Rambunctious]

Libs are lying again about the views... LMAO... boy are you tards going to be mad in 24....

What he's desperately trying to say is that fewer people watched the Tucker/Trump interview, than watched the FOX News GOP debate. This idiot is trying to convince himself that Trump's supporters are leaving him in droves.

What a dumbass.

Why would you care? I am not voting for Trump and I don’t really care how many watched, 2 viewers or 7.8 billion viewers, why do you care? You aren’t voting for him, it’s like I don’t care how many watched the debate last night, if I want to see it, I’ll watch it. Why do you cry so much about Trump?

All your right wing buddies cared about the views until they was school with the explanation of how Twitter views are measured.

I care about helping stupid people become smart.

You would think that as bad as the leftists want Trump to run they would be pumping those numbers up instead......Are they skeered now?

The world wonders....

I was very scared, before I learned how Twitter views were measured.

 

[Leweman]

So it was low? It was actually more? Holy crap.

 

[Winco]

so it could be more,,

Sure, it could be, just PROVES the Cult of Trump.
No One cares except you RWI's.

Meanwhile in Bidenville...

Meanwhile is the trump cult circle jerk.

I don’t support Trump, he is a disaster, as is Biden, they embarrass our country, I won’t vote for either and that you support the white good ole boy network is really stupid on your part. The other issue is you are a left wing moron pretending to be a conservative which makes you a dishonest ass.

Enjoy your lies and fuck off, I will vote for the best candidate next year which automatically excludes Trump or Biden.
