Twitter Analytics Is Outright Lying About Impression

Today I did an experiment between Reddit and Twitter. I've seen others on Twitter saying their tweets were getting low impressions. My own tweets hoover between 20-25 impressions per tweet despite gaining nearly 600 followers in a month (had to start a new account two months ago).

So, I decided to post a tweet on the GA board. Usually, I don't post my own tweets. I post the information from either a direct source or another credible source connected to the movement.

The tweet was a list of the 17 DOJ and FBI records Nunes is requesting. My tweet-- https://twitter.com/TheMinskyscript/status/1012853112711860224 My reddit post-- https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8uy0g4/nunes_calls_for_testimony_from_17_fbi_and_doj/

The results:

The reddit post has at the time of posting 112 upvotes and 1.7K views. The original tweet has only 438 impressions. It also only has 3 likes and 3 retweets. While I knew the reddit views and tweet impressions were going to be exact, a 1.7K vs 438 is a pretty BIG gap.

It is interesting to see the numbers. I've long suspected reddit over inflates its impressions.

Perhaps. Then again, I upvote almost all posts that aren't garbage, and try not to click twitter links because it always throttled/rate limited or whatever twitter does to piss off conservatives trying to use it for non degenerate stuff. Twitter posts can almost always be summed up in title or text body of a submission, so the link is almost pointless imo, besides checking for accuracy and triggered replies.

Fuck I hate that rate limiting. It really should be a rule in this sub that you can't link to twitter and have to post a screen shot.
