Tucker Carlson’s Twitter Launch Clocks Tens of Millions of Views – but Far, Far Lower Actual Engagement

https://www.thewrap.com/tucker-carlson-twitter-launch-views-vs-engagement/

According to Twitter’s FAQ, practically anything can count as a view, which is not the case for likes, retweets and replies

ja...so what?....it's still way more than merely significant...and it doesn't mean people like Putin or Carlson if they watch it...it means it's of significance to lots of people.

Poor ou blobbie grasping at straws. 

Poor CNN last I saw typically get 580,000 is so views for their prime news and 700,000 on really good news. 

Why is that. Well after years of lying, distorting things and not covering important items people have woken up yo the fact they are a Globalist propaganda mschine.

Poor blobbie is do dumb he will go down with the ship. 

Not only is blobbie dumb but he is a coward too afraid to watch this video. Hahahahahahaha. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS THREAD HAS 2 RESPONSES AND 35 VIEWS. WHAHAHAHHAHAHA IF OU BLOBBIE HAD HALF A CLUE HE WOULD KNOW VIEWS ALWAYS FAR OUTNUMBER RESPONSES. IS THE SAME ALL OVER.

Bollocks

"Bollocks"

Which part?

According to Twitter’s FAQ, practically anything can count as a view, which is not the case for likes, retweets and replies

In the hours since Tucker Carlson’s new show, “Tucker on Twitter,” debuted on the social media site late Tuesday afternoon, the tweet hosting the first episode has racked up a figure that, superficially anyway, indicates that it was seen by a truly astonishing number of people.

According to the Twitter “views” count on the tweet, as of this writing the first episode of “Tucker on Twitter” has been viewed at least 29 million times. Which is indeed a far larger number of people than the roughly 3 million, on average, who tuned in nightly when Carlson was still employed by Fox. But not so fast: Twitter’s measurements of actual engagement — retweets and quote tweets, likes, replies and bookmarks, tell a much different, and far less impressive story.

According to Twitter’s own FAQ regarding view counts, which you can read here, “Anyone who is logged into Twitter who views a Tweet counts as a view, regardless of where they see the Tweet (e.g. Home, Search, Profiles, etc.) or whether or not they follow the author. If you’re the author, looking at your own Tweet also counts as a view.”

In other words, a view is counted even if you didn’t seek the Tweet out, but it crosses your screen while you’re scrolling. And that is very likely to happen on the new algorithmic “For You” tab added to Twitter last January, especially if that tweet features content Twitter owner Elon Musk has a vested interest in.

But there’s more. According to Twitter, “multiple views may be counted if you view a Tweet more than once, but not all views are unique. For example, you could look at a Tweet on web and then on your phone, and that would count as two views.”

Which is to say, again, it is impossible to draw any conclusion whatsoever from the “views” count about the popularity of “Tucker on Twitter.” On the other hand, if the tracking of real engagement is any measure, the show is actually doing much, much worse than on Fox News, where until April 24 Carlson hosted what the New York Times declared to be “the most racist show in the history of cable news.”

As has happened with all press inquiries since Musk took over Twitter, a request for comment from TheWrap received an auto-response of a poop emoji.

Draad, lees asb.

Bob, I did...and I have read similar articles numerous times...and the "most racist show in history" comment is an outright lie.

Joe Rogan said it was like the right-wing Avengers or something.

Carlson cracks me up with how he goes all in for the schoolboy look. The hand in the pocket like he's clenching the ball of clingfilm that just recently housed his peanut butter saami.

UFC fans get it though.
