I don't know that I trust social media view counts. Wasn't Facebook/Instagram counting view ridiculously, like "it started autoplaying while you were scrolling your feed" a while ago?
Trustworthy or not, cumulative view counts of a recording online are not directly comparable to viewing numbers of a live broadcast event. Especially if you try to include those old events where the public were more of a captive audience.
People are absolutely correct that Tucker is dominating cable news, but going by raw view counts is misleading. You have to do some extrapolation.
Thank you, but after a bit of looking, I'm pretty sure I was thinking of Facebook's misleading claims of passing YouTube many years ago. That said, I am not surprised to hear that other sites are manipulating their viewcounts as well.
Yeah, don't quote me on this as I'm not sure, but I thought Twitter's "view" was like two seconds. Not even sure the video needs to play, it could just be the tweet itself being on your monitor for two seconds.

This might be the view on the tweet, and not necessarily the video. Because tweets also have view counts.
I pretty sure you're thinking about Youtube.
