@jazzilla I have no real way to verify it.. I am left wondering how its calculated though... at over 200K impressions the likes and retweet count seem very low for a 11% engagement rate... so i dunno...
Here is the ad if you want to take a peek: https://twitter.com/DocFreemo/status/1594039759797633027

So i tried posting an ad on twitter for QOTO just for shits and giggles and see what sort of conversion we get... Astonishingly we have a 11% engagement rate... that is absolutely unheard of in advertising. Normally its <1%... Not sure if ill continue advertising or not but it was an interesting experience to say the least.
This server has been in existance from the early days of the fediverse. We retain a history of virtually all posts from the fediverse throughout its entire history in our search... those posts your seeing are from back when gab was still ont he fediverse. They left some time ago, but the history of them remains here.
That much is probably true.. my guess is he knew the bias of his followers and knew the poll would lean towards reinstating as a result.. He used it as a way to make it seem like he was making a democratic decision and hopefully reduce the backlash.
@taz
Having polls are very biased, and yea, you dont get accurate data. It doesnt mean you have to delete polls, they are fun and useful for knowing what your followers think... It is only dangerous when you use them as a means to assume what thte general population thinks, especially when you act on it.
@taz
There is no doubt many who dont like him follow him.. but to think that number will create a true random sampling of the population is far from a reality.
@taz
It doesnt help that the poll was on elon's page, and he clearly was followed by way more trump supporters than is normal.
@taz
Id be down for that, would make me feel less guilty about taking donations :)
@Rmond I appreciate that, thank you.
