- rbanffy 7y agoEach one was liked by a couple hundred. How many tweets were there? Each like probably appeared to a number of followers of each account that liked it, furthering its reach - even if the person didn't engage by liking or RT'ing, a lot of people read it. These people read multiple ones, for a given time, from seemingly multiple sources. Those were seen directly, from people they follow, and indirectly, from tweets liked by people they follow. While a single tweet won't change views, the repeated exposure to a narrative will, eventually, do that. We are not talking about individual tweets, but concerted efforts to further narratives for various purposes.
