We look again at Twitter, given the way of implementing new features that it has been carrying out since Elon Musk took over the reins of the network platform.
In this regard, it was Elon Musk himself who shared this afternoon in a tweet the arrival of a new function that could give rise to future controversy.
This is the function that will allow publicly display the view count for each tweetsomething similar to the reproductions that videos may have on YouTube, for example, although the users of this platform already had a private page that better details the interactions received by the tweets that we have published in our accounts through a series of metrics.
Chord to Musk:
It shows how much more alive Twitter is than meets the eye, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don’t tweet, reply, or like, as those are public actions.
A fact that will now be public, for better and for worse
The arrival of this function could put an end to those users who could get their chests out of the number of followers, but in practice their posts receive far fewer interactions than was expected at first.
Perhaps you want to expose those who use bots and fake profiles to increase the number of followers to give themselves more public importance, when bots and fake profiles are something that Musk himself has been strongly against?
We do not know the real intentions, but the truth is that Musk is delighted with this featurein which it is also possible that it is a claim to attract more content creators to the platform.
It remains to be seen if there are differences with the metric of total impressions shown in the private pages of the tweets with respect to the number of views on the same tweets, something that over time could leave doubts.
It still remains for the new function to reach all users, and according to reverse engineering expert Nima Owjiit will only work with tweets published after December 15.
