I just checked their Facebook and X page. The X page is getting much more eyes. For instance, they posted their article "The FAA’s “Temporary” Flight Restriction for Drones is a Blatant Attempt to Criminalize Filming ICE" to both accounts. The results:
X: 1,500 likes, 50 comments, 846 shares.
Facebook: 58 likes, 8 comments, 22 shares.
Bluesky: 94 likes, 3 comments, 51 shares.
You realize these numbers are meaningless right?
Even if you assumed there isn't some Elon "like multiplier" being applied to these numbers, the amount of bot activity on X is staggering.
You have no idea how many humans are being reached without metrics about links being followed.
but the article opening with a paragraph saying "The Numbers Aren’t Working Out".
One can't justify quitting because the number is falling, and claims the number does not matter at the same time. or can it?
Much fewer bots on X than Facebook. I think you are completely wrong.
Are likes some ultimate metric? What kind of person of target audience keeps liking any post of anything that pops up?
No and no obviously, they dont target some desperate addicted teens
Likes are obviously correlated with the number of views a post gets. I am not sure what point you are trying to make.
