They didn’t address the possibility that some of those views on X come from bots. It depends on your goals, but I’d much rather have a post read closely by fewer humans who are really engaging with it, versus lots of fleeting engagement including from bots.


X view count is probably still higher after controlling for bots on both media.


now: how many multi-paragraph responses (containing thoughts both novel and good) does one get from a blog vs posting on X?
