RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:MUSK-TRUMP INTERVIEW @ 8PM ETFaux Views is letting people think there were a billion tuned in to listen. But the fact is "
Translation: Even if you didn’t seek the post out, even if you didn’t even look at it for more than a couple of seconds, even if it popped up because you were looking for something else, if it crosses your screen you’ll add to the total views. And there’s good evidence that content Musk himself cares about is prioritized in the purportedly algorithmic “For You” timeline, making it more likely it will be seen even by people who didn’t seek it out. And there’s more. The FAQ makes it clear “multiple views may be counted if you view a Tweet more than once.”
In short, X does not provide any detailed breakdown of activity pertaining to the view count, it’s just a tally of every single user who glanced at a post for any reason. Which makes it impossible to glean anything useful from that count.
As for the total number of listeners, we have no idea where that claim of 16 million comes from. It appears to originate with the user Trump’s account reposted, and they give no source for it.
What we do know is that when a Spaces event is live, participants can see a count of how many people are listening from moment to moment. That number will obviously fluctuate throughout the event."
