How about: > 845.9K Likes > 237.6K Retweets In a day and a half for a ten minute video of a guy in his basement talking. It isn't even a video platform.

  Given how easy it is to have bot farms promote tweets I don't think this is a valid metric to use

  But what is the argument here? 237k retweets is a lot, sure. This tweet from 2020 has 883k retweets and is just four photos: https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/1296701109340237824 https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/1296701109340237824 So does 237k retweets in 2023 mean the network is as vital as it was in 2020? I have no idea what basis this argument is being made on.

    Does it mean Twitter is dead though? That's the basis of this thread.

      That’s exactly my point. A tweet with 237k retweets was thrown out as a evidence that it’s not dead but I’m asking on what basis 237k is a lot or not a lot.
