Why do so many accounts on Twitter with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers get only a couple hundred likes on their posts? Do they buy followers? Bots?

Even Musk with 115 million followers in his current headline making post spree is only getting a few hundred thousand likes. I'd expect more.

Generally, not many people like posts.

Elon is getting a lot now because supporting Elon has become a right wing political chud cause.

I assume most people just don’t do likes. They see a tweet and just move on unless it goes viral for whatever reason

The like system is stupid because it's a voting system but it also tracks your likes and associates them with you. So you sort of have to make a decision if you're going to just hit 'like' on every single post you like to make the number go up and show support or if you actually want your likes to mean something and/or want your likes tab to be full of things you might actually want to look back over instead of just everything you've ever seen in your feed.

Sometimes if you find an account with good content you can go into their likes and find a bunch of other stuff that lines up with what they post, but a lot of times it's just white noise because they like every single reply to their tweets or something.

Large man can make dumb tweets, people are afraid to contest the fame which makes for a room full of toadies

Disadvantages:
Things are as codependent as the large man making dumb tweets, but do not move at the speed of his tweets or really with much vector velocity (lmfao) at all

The real answer to this is that social media metrics are even less meaningful then Nielsen ratings.

A person can have their life profoundly changed by information contained in a post and spend the rest of their lives preaching the gospel of the tweet, and never like, share or subscribe.

Conversely a person (definitely not me) can spend $100 on fake Philippine followers to qualify as popular enough for $10,000 in arts grants.

It's all just nonsense.

Yep. Supposedly it's basically pay $1,000 make $3-5, maybe $10,000 a month as long as you keep cranking out garbage.

Given how easy it is to just make that kind of money doing abject bullshit and posting it on YouTube, start thinking about the jobs% and the sizes and dollar amounts involved in this market segment.

Batched RPCs are, for various technical reasons, ridiculously fundamental to having acceptable performance when doing GPU-based Machine Learning stuff in your backend architecture. As long as you are using a decent multiplexing tunnel, like gRPC, they don't really matter much for run-of-the-mill operations like authentication or doing a one-shot fetch from a database.

It's no surprise that Tesla engineers have a strong bias in favor of them. And Elon not understanding that the logic doesn't transfer is not surprising either.

Remote procedure calls are also how twitter translates the external timeline API (graphql) to the internal API (gRPC)

One external call = many internal calls. This is how you split up work effectively, because a team can have their own internal API that they own.

But if you can most of the teams everyone touches everything, like at Tesla. That's worked out great for them I be- oh that car just parked it's way into that brick wall via those people. Ok.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
I think a big reason for the low likes/engagement on a tweet from an account with millions of followers is that the vast, vast, vaaaaaast majority of the follows are extremely low engagement users, most of whom probably signed up, added a bunch of famous people they know, and then got bored/distracted and never logged in again.

It’s actually kind of hard to be a casual twitter user, you’re getting hit with a firehose of constantly updating and changing content and you might be completely lost when you peek back in because you have no idea what everyone is on about in the latest twitter bruhaha.

This was my experience when I started to step away, it got easier the longer I stayed off it because at a certain point you kind of don’t feel connected at all to it so it just doesn’t grab you the way it does if you’re constantly refreshing it.

E: and that’s not even counting the number of bots, which could be better organized to like posts of certain people they are tasked to follow etc.

It's also because a lot of big accounts make lovely posts and just aren't good at using twitter. As Musky is currently learning right now, just because you can buy followers doesn't mean you can buy goodwill or posting prowess, and if your posts suck nobody is going to like them.

To give him a tiny bit of a defense here, Elon's twitter account is probably one of the 3-4 that could credibly have a ton of bot-followers without having bought them.

Elon has a fully fledged case of conspiracy-brain, at this stage there is an inevitable deterioration until Musk is a flat-earth QAnon believer.

Preserved for when he takes the coward's path of deleting his posts:


This is the conspiracy theory Musk is on board with:

https://twitter.com/_hawko/status/1591909771124539393
Even if he wasn't lying, the daily cost per employee is obviously going to be different now that he's ordered everyone back to the office full-time. So why justify cancelling free lunches based on a circumstance that no longer exists? Rhetorical question obviously, it's because Musk is an idiot.
