I don’t really know. Ive always been just a lurker, not a poster, on Twitter and I honestly haven’t noticed any significant changes. Their web traffic metrics are a data point but I just don’t know if they really tell us anything substantive.

That’s literally what statistics are, the most substantive evidence that exists

That definitely depends. 100% of people that drink water die is a statistic. The question is always whether the statistics are actually good

Whether or not you’re intelligent enough to notice when drastically are being used to fuck with you is separate from whether or not those statistics are real.

I mean a statistic can be “real” and also not useful. A person can also be statistically illiterate. I’m not sure these realities validate their web traffic metrics though.

Technically, that is not a good statistic. Only ~93% of people that drank water have died. 8 billion are still alive.
