Some dork with 200,000 followers saying the CCP is bad probably has 1/1,000,000,000th the influence on your average Americans opinion than one Fox News or CNN host has.
And on the flip side them stanning the CCP would have a similarly meaningless affect.
So idk why we spend so much time getting pissy at them for their hot takes when all when all of them disappearing tomorrow wouldn’t change anything.
Yes, that's exactly how math works. With 340,000,000 Americans (maybe 300M of whom have the capacity to be an audience), 200,000 followers is equal to 300M/1B, or 0.3 people.
Following a channel is 0.00015%, or one-600-thousandth, of a person's political opinion.
That's how math works.
Uh, I was kinda hoping by the tone of my post it was clearly I hadn’t done a fucking statistical analysis, and that “1/1,000,000,000” was meant as hyperbole.
Apologies if that wasn’t clear.
Anyone who tells you that 300,000 American followers is 1/1000 of the population, and that it's a fair bet that any given American has had a conversation with at least one of those followers, is wrong.
