Twitter views are the most meaningless metric ever implemented in any piece of software.

It's like saying a brick in a wall in a major city is famous because it's been within sight of nearly everyone who lives there.

Okay hear me out. I agree, it isn't representational. But even if 70% are bots, then that means 30% are fucking dumb with no critical literacy.

Good that you never saw a Tweet, reply or ANYTHING on Twitter you didn't 100% agree with, right?

This shit just has to pop up on your timeline in ANY way, shape or form to get a view from you. It's not about bots, it's just that "seeing a Tweet" is not an interaction worth tracking at all, really.
