On: What it's like to be cancelled

[firebaze]

How can you separate Twitter the company from Twitter the results? Serious question without any snark. I don't get this argument.

Oh gal, just leave a message if you downvote. I love to learn when I'm wrong, and I guess others as well.

The question is "How many people saw this tweet?"

It should be obvious how twitter the company could provide a good estimate, with their server logs.

It should also be obvious how the twitter userbase has no idea, because that's exactly the problem.

So do you understand the separation now?

If not, then which part is the problem?

And you're getting downvotes because all of this was already explained, and it looks like you initially misunderstood and failed to process the reply you got and then go reread the initial post.

How do you conflate the institutional knowledge of Twitter the corporation and the crowd knowledge of Twitter the user-base?

[KineticLensman → firebaze]

Because Twitter the result might look extremely toxic but be a small fraction of the overall Twitter (the company) userbase.

Do you think the outcome matches your opinion?
