Oh well in that case it makes sense, there's plenty of people on Twitter who charge wirelessly for their feet

shock, the view count thing is something twitter already trialled years ago and decided not to deploy, and elon just dusted it off and shipped it

so your telling me you wasn't drunk or fucked up in anyway. when you had sex with me and that monkey
Maybe Elons definition of a view is different from ours. Like, yeah, you’re viewing this post right now, but is that really just a view. Maybe you lingered on it for a second. That could be like 1.8 views. Or if you left it on your screen while you left to answer a phone call or take a piss. Now we’re in 50 views, maybe even triple digits if you camp out on the toilet like I do. If I leave a post on my screen overnight, guess what, you’ve gone viral.

The former. There's a character in there who fills a very similar archetype as a weirdo rich wunderkind guy, and the movie takes great pleasure in showing him to be a gigantic idiot who got rich on the back of dumb luck and other people's work.

I'm less inclined to believe that the view counts are completely fabricated than I am that they just implemented it in the most lazy way possible without any consideration of whether it actually reflects views or not (because who's going to know?). Maybe they just put a counter on and keep track of every time the tweet is touched by any part of the system.

i'm sure this won't be bloated at all. i hope they just plop it into the existing UI with "public" or "private" toggles lol
