@Gargron @PCMag My guess is inauthentic behavior; that lots of likes and retweets are the product of bots. Twitter can obfuscate the bot problem by prioritizing views to create the illusion of authentic impressions.
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
