Twitter’s new transparency policy that shows how many people view each tweet has exposed the CBC as having laughably low view counts given its high follower count.
On December 15, Twitter implemented a transparency policy change that allowed all users to know how many views every tweet receives. Previously, only a tweet’s author could access this information.
CBC’s main twitter account has 3.4 million followers – yet it averages less than 100,000 views on each of its tweets. Assuming a tweet receives 75 thousand views, that’s about 2% of CBC’s followers who actually see what the state-broadcaster tweets.
