One year-post acquisition, X traffic and monthly active users are in decline, report claims::Despite proclamations from X CEO Linda Yaccarino that usage of the social network was at an all-time high this summer, a new report is throwing cold water
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 to my timeline. 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 statistics 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 as something that’s really measuring what’s important to twitter’s long term health.
Definitely does not blanket make all statistics useful.
I get what you mean. And if your experience is contrary to what the statistics say, carry on, you do you, but the big picture has absolutely shifted
Edit: guys are bashing tf out of you, I don’t know why, your point isn’t invalid, I just misunderstood it from the start
Technically, that is not a good statistic. Only ~93% of people that drank water have died. 8 billion are still alive.
