According to Whitney Cummings when she was at twitter offices she wanted to know about the metrics. And she found this one startling.

My only question is, how does anyone have any time to blitz a social media app that long and that dense? How the hell do you not collapse or rush to the hospital from stress or other medical conditions?

thats worse than meth

"Something that fascinates me about Twitter and cancel culture is, I was at the Twitter offices for some reason and reading statistics about it, and 22 percent of people are on Twitter—of that, 2 percent generate 80 percent of the comments. So there’s that. But I think humans are very consistent. We’ve done this with the town’s square hangings, or the Roman Colosseum. Humans used to watch hangings as entertainment. We’re a very dark species"

not surprised. Look up the pareto principle

Woah i thought it was 10% which was already bad. That's even worse,

Thats also why gauging opinion on twitter doesn't exactly mean much half the time

bots then smh

interesting an echo chamber fr

i mean just look at the ratios of comments to likes on your tl, not that surprising I go on twitter a lot but theres no need to converse with those people

This seems most likely reason. 2% of users accounting for 80% of the posts is just incomprehensible.

Do they mean that 2% of people post the comments, or are we all reacting/responding to tweets from 2% of people?

Absolute mental illness

Tbh a lot of people just make twitters to advertise their other s*** and not actually use it i wouldnt be surprised

I think those 2% are the people who literally tweet out every thought that pops into their head. Like 10+ tweets every hour type s***.

Thank god for the mute button. Most people just tweet once every few days or not at all.

As someone who has a Twitter but never comments on s***, I don't find this surprising. Also have a bunch of friends with Twitter accounts who never use em.

Eh that makes alot of sense. Alot of bots will tweet the same thing verbatim and cross post it across multiple bot profiles
