      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

      100% of people that drink water die

      The question is always whether the statistics are actually good

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