I always find it mindblowing how much trust is put in number -any of them. Worked a bit in SEO & web and analytic datas for website changed over one day bc undocumented change on an algo somewhere. Ppl helping advertiser at google not in the loop from dev. Twitter messier /1
Bottom line, take any counter /w a bit of salt, trust (true) comments/ sign of real person as the best measure of traffic & engagement. And yes, big problem on who control the traffic sources. This can't last like this /2
