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 becoming one of the 1 in one hundred 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.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that one very specific thing I noticed showing how kuzumusk is inflating twitter numbers is how tons of tweets of fanarts and cosplay of extremely niche series few people know about are having like over 1k likes now. When I see Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future stuff having 3k+ Likes I'm like loool. 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 the current overall Pretty Series nostalgia hype due to the Aikatsu x PriPara movie.
Some people who use Wordpress also noted that the referral numbers on their Wordpress stats page are much lower than the "Twitter impressions stat" on the tweet they shared the wordpress article with. Proving the Twitter numbers are inflated.
Ever since I opened this site, I haven't looked at the analytics page once. During my old blog days I used to look regularly, not because I cared about the numbers, but because Pretty Rhythm was so niche it was always interesting to see forums and sites of various languages linking back to my articles and translations about the series.
I should write this in JP and tell old JP Pretty Rhythm fans about it. I dunno if they noticed or not.
