How do you measure accuracy in single digit percents? That seems impossibly precise.
- playpause 5y agoMaybe it’s aggregated. If someone retweets seven stories, and four are deemed ‘accurate’, that’s about 57%.
- zksmk 5y agoBefore: 100 users, 100 accurate retweets. After: 100 users, 99 accurate retweets. The study followed 2000 and I can only assume they all retweeted multiple times, like 10, so you get 20000 retweets. Seems plausible to me.
