Internet Traffic Metrics are Bullshit confirmed by the Ex-CEO of Reddit
"It's true: Everything is fake," former Reddit CEO Ellen Pavo tweeted Wednesday's New York Magazine article, which is said or made mostly by Internet traffic metrics from some of the largest tech companies. In other words; They are bullshit.
The Washington Post's Aram Zucker-Skiffe responded to a tweet and stated the following part of the article:
Dimensions are duplicated.
Take as usual as we expect web traffic. Metrics should be the most real thing on the Internet: they are calculable, noticeable and observable, and their existence will distort the advertising business that drives our largest social and search platforms. And yet Facebook, the world's largest data collection company, can produce real people. In October, small advertisers sued the social media giant, for a year, watching videos on the stage (60 to 80 percent, Facebook said, 150 to 900 percent, and plaintiff). Facebook has agreed to report the number of Facebook pages (two different ways) in the last two years, with the viewer's view that the audience will complete advertising videos, its "instant articles," from Facebook to referral traffic to external websites, videos via Facebook's mobile site Received views And as soon as the number of columns, the number of video views.
Can we still trust the metrics? After the inversion, what's the point? When we put their faith on their accuracy, it is not very truthful: my favorite statistic is that this year Facebook argument that 75 million people watched Facebook Watch videos at least once in a minute - although Facebook admits that 60 seconds per minute is not required to be viewed in a row. Real videos, real people, fake minutes. -NYMag
Paolo tweeted, "As well as mobile user accounts are duplicates, no one knows how to log out the logged-in mobile users, every time someone's cell towers are switched, it looks like another user, and increases the company's user statistics."
