I worked on this at Twitter in 2015. IIRC we tested it and most people didn't get any views and we had to have some thresholds before showing it as "0 views" was depressing
We also wanted to be accurate and not count if someone quickly scrolls past your tweet in their TL

Twitter is rolling out View Count, so you can see how many times a tweet has been seen! This is normal for video.
Shows how much more alive Twitter is than it may seem, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don’t tweet, reply or like, as those are public actions.

The idea that inferences based on demographics could constitute an environmental impact is so obviously pernicious that the judge who endorsed it should be impeached. Sundown towns would have loved this logic. https://t.co/BQ1VbOYHUr

A Christmas Eve surprise from Court of Appeal in UC Berkeley "students are pollution" CEQA case.
tl,dr: UC Berkeley & state housing + antidiscrimination policy got a lump of coal in their stockings.
CEQA is about to get much, much worse unless the Leg or the AG steps in. 1/25

So the California judicial system basically just legislated population caps as enviormental law. If a community refuses to build housing, no further population increases are permitted as it'll cause homelessness, which the court now identified as a form of pollution.
Chris Elmendorf @CSElmendorf
The court says that homeless people cause (or are?) an environmental problem, and that bringing more students to Berkeley increases demand for housing and may displace existing residents, driving some into homelessness.
Ergo, an EIR for a long-range student enrollment... /19 https://t.co/HtPzTBgGoz

America’s young people are troublingly uncool

About a quarter/third of the decline in casual sex can be explained by less drinking, more gaming, and still living at home.

A South Korean tour group's van became stuck in the snow outside a house in Williamsville, New York. They homeowners, luckily, had a well-stocked kitchen. And so began an unlikely holiday weekend.
