And only 10 billion bot visits.
10 billion out of 441 million unique visitors?
Ilhan Omar math?
Heh, that’s really the problem. And to Elon/X’s credit? They’ve been *trying* to solve for that... to limited/no success.
Everybody still reports “visits”, but nobody worth their digital salt leans on it anymore. Even the other metrics - DAU, etc - are fast becoming obsolete (if they weren’t years ago).
Even the pikers and scammers don’t even need to buy “clickfarm” time anymore. I’m technically ancient nowadays- fortunately, no longer working at a level where that matters, but I recently spun up a “metric breaker” to prove out I could I juice common metrics with a pretty simple (and even cheaper!) AI-based orchestration to prove a point.
Solve for the bots? You’ll crash your numbers.
Fortunately, I don’t play in social media... but it’s got a sisyphean task. Solve for the bots? And that’s actually doable - but you’ll crash your metrics.
Glad I’m nearing 60, not 30.
