- AustinDev 3y agoIn another life I used to be one of those third parties that scraped social media for usage metrics back when the APIs were much more permissible. I can tell you that when we got to see internal numbers, we were at most 5%-10% off on all our key metrics. Importantly we were consistently off by a similar margin on each metric so overall our data was very high quality for this type of comparison.
- tehbeard 3y agoGiven how Meta has played about with numbers in the past (see video view counts), I'm more inclined to believe the third parties over Meta.
