You know some bad news about Twitter just dropped when you start seeing Musk inventing new metrics like “user seconds”

So that's definitely biased by bots being logged in and active 24/7, right?
- before i was perma-banned for supporting Palestine most of my time was spent blocking porn bots which were really the only things that ever seemed to see my posts/responses anyway

- They should be able to easily compute a median seconds per user from this data. It’s probably way less impressive. And the mean is probably something absurd like 18 hours.
And it turns out you’re not Show more

I thought I was Show more
368m estimated users would mean they are pretending they average ~1000 seconds (16 minutes) per user
- damn i wish i only used 16 minutes on the internet
- But they are estimating 570m users, so it's even less than that, right? Or am I too dumb to read the graphic correctly?
  
  That's monthly active, so the daily active could potentially be much lower (idk if it actually is)
This mf STILL using that corny "I'm Iron Man but REAL!!!" profile pic?? I thought he moved on from that bit when Reddit stopped buying it 10 years behind the curve.
- nah, that's a load bearing personal fantasy. once you put it in, it's never coming out.
user-seconds

Pfffft, everyone knows that the really important metrics are bit-meters and post-hertz. Everything else is just nonsense.
- meters and Hertz

Damn, 1500 man years wasted a day on Twitter
Hexbear has 2 Trillion user-seconds a day!
6.7146336351e+52 user planck time
Wow! That's a whopping 6.715443293E+54 units of planck time! So much!
that’s 100M user-hours. assuming bot activity isn’t included, that’s a sad number even compared to other dying social media sites like insta and fb that have billions of active users. id like to see this stat for tiktok
Thought the tilde were minus signs for a second. That'd be more line with expectations, like who the fuck uses twitter still?
362 zetaquadrajintibijilinion users every zetosecond !!!
