Okay, everybody hates the brand new tweet view counts – or not a lot hates them, as an idea, however hates the way in which that they’re displayed, which presently produces these kind of 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 worry, enhancements are coming – try this up to date tweet view format, posted by Twitter designer Andrea Conway.
As you may see right here, this up to date format wouldn’t show view counts on tweets in timelines (first picture), however when expanded, you’ll be capable of 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 undecided that’s true. I imply, do you actually need to know that a number of thousand folks noticed your tweet, and never a single considered one of them felt compelled to provide it a like? Undecided that’ll be the motivational enhance that Elon expects – however then once more, in the event you actually like consideration, and also you need to make sure you get extra of it, then figuring out that numerous persons are a minimum of seeing your tweets may very well be a consider holding you tweeting.
It appears doubtless extra hassle than its price, with folks trying to make use of this as a brand new tweet ratio, of kinds, with which to criticize you in your poor tweet engagement.
But it surely if had been simply one other stat, and proven solely in expanded tweet kind, that may very well be higher. Possibly.
We’ll have to attend and see what Twitter does subsequent with the format.
