It's So Obvious Twitter Numbers Are Manipulated And Inflated Now

Reminder for anyone reading this and myself as well: Never ever care about doing big numbers on social media. Don't obsess over your analytics if you have a blog or a youtube. It's never ever worth it. Looking at your stats everyday won't increase your chances of joining the one in a million people actually making a living out of YouTube. It'll only be a source of stress and depression. If you want real advice and feedback on something you made, discuss it in private with friends on discord, in DMs, on Signal, whatever. But don't think the amount of retweets you get is synonym to whether your art is good or bad.

One very specific thing I noticed that proves kuzumusk is inflating twitter numbers, is how tons of tweets with fanarts and cosplay of extremely niche series are regularly getting over 1k likes now. When I see Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future stuff having 3k+ Likes I'm like looooool. No way that's real. Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future has always been the most unknown season of all Pretty Series. Even nowadays with the latest King of Prism movie making it more popular, or with the current overall Pretty Series nostalgia hype due to the Aikatsu x PriPara movie.

Wordpress users also noted that their referral numbers for a specific article are much lower than the "Twitter impressions stat" of the tweet they initially shared that specific article with. Proving the Twitter numbers are inflated.

Ever since I opened this site, I haven't looked at the analytics. During my old blog days I used to look regularly, not because I cared about the numbers, but because some of the stuff I wrote on like Pretty Rhythm was so niche, it was always interesting to see forums and sites of various languages linking back to my articles and translations.

I wish more JP otaku noticed these inflated numbers instead of getting tricked.
