Maybe better to wait for an independent actor to verify that (if thats even possible). It would not be in tiktoks best interests for instance to have in that list, people reading out Osama Bin Ladens letter and exclaiming him to be correct.
- latency-guy2 3y agoI'd mostly agree. But we can verify that particular instance's popularity by proxy through political content popularity. I would make the bet that it was not anywhere nearly as effective as Crunchy Cat Luna at getting views.
- fsckboy 3y agothat comparison offers no insight whatsoever. statistic requires comprehensive sets of numbers and random selection, not two random aggregates from a single time period.
- latency-guy2 3y agoOnly if you have the data available, I believe no one does outside of TikTok, and I also believe they would not release that information unless requested through legal means. Proxy estimation is absolutely a statistical construct, its the underlying of many branches of statistics, and in this particular case it would be a causal inference. And I don't think terrorism or terrorist apologia is so far off from general political content that I would deem random+independent from each other.
