If you're an artist past a certain follower threshold, you're gonna have regulars who keep the lights on regardless of whether you're on Twitter. But yeah I have legit no skin in the metrics game, I've just been complacent.

and i feel so heavily this is - traditionally pretty according to what metrics? why would she need to be? what performative value is there in being any specific "thing" other than "my cool character i enjoy and created to play with, she's amazing" because she is amazing. full stop. no metric needed

I have two metrics for when to sell 1. Would I be annoyed if I lose the gains (emotional) 2. Is there a better opportunity for the money than keeping it where it is (Rational) Usually a sell these days is to move funds into something judged less of a risk. Part of a winding down strategy.

I hate opening nytimes links now but if they’re doing actual reporting I’m thrilled to bump their metrics for that

Also sorry am I missing something here or is he reducing the state of the economy to GDP? There are… additional relevant metrics?

I think it’s just a bad metric and you shouldn’t apply metrics to determine good or bad art. Art that should exist or art that should be not. I think it’s kind of a fashy drive.

Anyone get into a TikTok shadowban but grow out of it? It’s just getting worse. Idk. If you see this can you help like and share my stuff over there? tiktok.com/@eddyratt

Second, let's say we find some variation to explore. We're going to explore different replicability metrics we can calculate on this data. Or we're going to compare this study to similar published studies. Then exploration would need to be systematic and reported transparently in its totality. 6/n

Yea I am sympathetic to that, my feelings a. Other metrics of evaluation often terrible (admin drops in 5 mins w no context follow up etc) and b. If you took list of schools doing poorly on tests and said “here are the schools that need the most support/funding/etc” it wouldn’t be a terrible list!
