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

[Delldude]

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.”

Meh.......like it matters.........Trump kicked ass and they still be talking about it.

Mosquito-bashing really fires up the electorate.

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.

What do you think of Rudy Giuliani and Trump selling pardons for $2 million dollars a piece?

How many did they sell................


In a written statement to NBC News, a Giuliani spokesman said the former mayor “unequivically denies the allegations.”
