Okay, everybody hates the brand new tweet view counts – or not a lot hates them, as an idea, however hates the best way that they’re displayed, which at the moment produces most of these double line stat summaries.
Folks additionally don’t like that views are displayed first, on the left of the tweet knowledge show, and Elon himself has admitted that it’s not nice, as but.
Haven’t any concern, enhancements are coming – try this up to date tweet view format, posted by Twitter designer Andrea Conway.
As you possibly can see right here, this up to date format wouldn’t show view counts on tweets in timelines (first picture), however when expanded, you’d have the ability to see the view depend on any tweet.
Which appears higher, although Elon appears fairly satisfied that highlighting view counts particularly will assist folks higher perceive how a lot attain their tweets are getting, which, in flip, will encourage extra tweet creation and exercise.
I’m unsure that’s true. I imply, do you actually wish to know that a number of thousand folks noticed your tweet, and never a single one in all them felt compelled to provide it a like? Undecided that’ll be the motivational increase that Elon expects – however then once more, should you actually like consideration, and also you wish to make sure you get extra of it, then understanding that a lot of persons are no less than seeing your tweets could possibly be a consider conserving you tweeting.
It appears possible extra bother than its price, with folks trying to make use of this as a brand new tweet ratio, of kinds, with which to criticize you to your poor tweet engagement.
However it if have been simply one other stat, and proven solely in expanded tweet type, that could possibly be higher. Perhaps.
We’ll have to attend and see what Twitter does subsequent with the format.
