I saw this tweet from "Official Twitter" and something smelled fishy about those numbers. What do you think? Comment Below, Follow for more updates & Resteem to your friends.

Twitter liberal bots! The whole things smells fishy imo. Nice detective work @fyrstikken! Seems like VG is buying the whole thing uncritical (http://www.vg.no/rampelys/barack-obama/denne-tweeten-til-obama-er-naa-verdens-mest-likte/a/24119152/) Not surprising!

Ha ha, they all do it. Actors, singers, politicians, 'stars' of all sorts. It kinda speaks for itself.

Okay, so the tweet has a reply:retweet ratio of 0,0396. That is low, even for Obama. If you look at this page and set the graph to Obama then it's clear he usually gets a much higher precentage. http://blog.fastforwardlabs.com/2017/05/15/reply-retweet-ratio.html. For Bernie Sanders however 0.03 is a much more common ratio.

However, the next example you use also has a very low ratio of 0.0558. You say "If you scale up this number you would see a lot more than 51k replies". Yup, about 71k. Not even that much more.

So anyway, what does it prove? I agree that there's probably a lot of bot voting going on there, but from where do you get the proof that it's Twitter that's actually doing this? There are no solid arguments or data that even hint at proving that, except for your dislike of Twitter.

Maybe Twitter did do it. I don't know. But what happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Put in the "Record Breaking Numbers" - If they were real, don't you think there would then also be a mountain of extra comments? in the case of 0.039 VS 0.055 the gap is very large %, if those numbers was the spread of an order book we would be making money for free :D, and that was just the closest example. Want to shake the roots of this and bring out the brainiacs like yourself to do fine math.

It's obviously some bot activity and the amount of comments prove it. Just chasing some records to bring out Obama on top.

You are probably right about how there are bots being used to manipulate the statistics of Obamas tweets. Creating a record with some bs bots just to promote Obama.
Chasing to create this prestigious thing to glorify people who they support and suppress and repress others.
Absolutely disgusting. It seems like their true colours are shining

It is very easy to see the difference between bots and real people. Yes they are getting every day better and better, but patterns in writing are so obvious. Check out political pages on Facebook, every single comment is 3-5 lines long, not less not more:)

Amazing @fyrstikken
Classy posts, you're great
I am upvote and follow you

Why is Obama window peeping on childern. Creepy.

snowflakes are melting.

yes you are telling me looking at some of these replies !! They Live !! and are everywhere ,even Steemit !!

There are lots of them on steemit. You get downvoted banned if you dont agree with them ;)

i will join soon

It depends on the person. People can actually like a post without commenting so the post can be credible and goes against the poster argument. There are millions of Obama supporters around the world....he can even get such likes only in Europe and Asia ...never underestimate the power of social media going viral...
See my latest post on social media addction. Upped and thanks for sharing

This is also true. If we check the same thing in Steemit, we can see posts getting hundreds of dollars but only a few has actually viewed the post or commented.

If we check the same thing in twitter, there are feeds where people can like and retweet and people doesn't really need to go on twitter. Twitter should also have the viewed counter. The 51K people who commented are probably those who have really looked at the post.

In any case difficult to know from only one twitter post. Will need to check the future movements of Obama. It is better to think that there is a story behind than no story at all. It makes life more interesting!

Good point, I agree. Also remember that he is a global figure worldwide and likes on twitter dont cost anything unlike upvotes on steemit...Millions of people can just click like...moreove some stars videos on youtube have 1B views and millions of likes

Great work @fyrstikken

It's just unfair and impossible to call this statistics

I like president barack obama ..

that is nice video bro @fyrstikken

You know they gotta soup it up to make the president look good. Smh

UPVOTED.
very good.
I would be happy if you like to follow me and give your opinion about my posts.
Thanks.

A lot of popular people are using fake numbers.

I found also a good singer from my country was buying views for her youtube channel

LOL!!! The world is not the same as it was before! Even famous people have to resort to bots!!

So we can all be famous after all. We just don't know or have the money to do it!

Twitter Lefties... scammers lol

Congratulation for obama, nice post mr @fyrstikken

They have a plan to kill Trump and bring back Obama under martial law no joke, I guess they will finf some so called " right winger " like the dirver in Charlotteville they employed to stir up the race war in America to do their job, like with Oswald and Kennedy, with a few special force snipers thrown in to make sure of the job !! we live dark times indeed (

Wonderful post @fyrstikken ....Blessings

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Still, I don't understand why would Twitter do such a thing? It's not like Obama is running for president or anything. "Proving" that he's so veeery popular doesn't change the fact that Trump is president...

Obama represents an agenda, you are right - he does not run for President. However the people behind his Agenda "Soros, Rockefeller, Antifa, Libtards, Snowflakes, Communist-Life-Matters etc" they have no more heroes. And sooner or later changes will be made in the United Nations. Would you be surprised to see Obama in a position there? His picture looks like a campaign foto for UNICEF IMO. Maybe he has ambitions to be the "President of The World" utilizing the powers of UN. If he is not running for anything, why does he suddenly setting records with the help of twitter inc.?

These are questions Time will answer.

Looking on the bright side: at least Hillary Clinton is no longer in the picture.. for now, at least

Asked the question in my comment below and here is probably the answer.

Obama might be up to something and he is trying to uplift his image at an early stage itself...

So many events happening around the world like a game of chess. Few knows exactly what is happening and what chessman is moving and for which hidden agenda!

nail hit on head, right on

tweeter is full of bots and you can easily buy retweets from fiver and other services for cheap, thats why its more and more bots there:) but ye many political use botnet to achieve big numbers and results, so thats why obama in top :)

Its could be some bot work! Recently read a report around 20% accounts are run by bots on twitter.

They buy the voices on the internet by bots from Asian countries, I saw this on a French documentary.

Never analysed a twitter post before... I knew there were bots around doing the upvotes and services to buy followers and upvotes but for a famous person like Obama to resort to such a thing. This is crazy!

Maybe it's true but am wondering what his motive behind might be? He cannot run for elections again anyway...

nice post @fyrstikken :)

That's how the computer geeks work to catch an eye of viewers, there are so many software developer spreading out the worlds some of them are the one who want to earn an instant cash and in able to do that they play shifty to make people believe. In my opinion that was totally a scam.
Well anyway great post @fyrstikken for an intance you show us something insteresting to avoid and be aware of what we see.

To all people will read this, please remember this *don't just believe of what you've seen it will just deceived you.

Twitter has a big ripple effect.
Is it media manipulation?

This has "Bot Activity" written allover it ,Shame! Shame! :)

Lol World is faking everywhere

This is just all fake numbers @fyrstikken, as you said just to bring him on top!
Now i am just wondering if these numbers were on my post on steemit as upvotes...OMG!!!

I like viewing things fyrstikken style . At first I was like this is going to be interesting then I'm like people on this world are crazy , what they do for attention and views , they literally post anything to attract individuals . Oh come watch , it already has this many views when people know , some people just crop shit out for attention or fame or money . Sad world , this is how misunderstanding are created . People who are famous this must happen often to them, I feel bad for what they have to face

It was interesting

Obama said the right thing and was widely praised for it. Those who can't handle the truth call it a lie. Go figure.

Seems like you have a problem staying on topic. I suggest you go through the video before you comment.

Yes man it looks a real fake, it looks like the lastavoting in venezuela.

Twitter, reddit, facebook, youtube these networks are manipulated by the lobby that govern usa, so they use all means to promote them, it's normal to see all these comments and likes falsified by bots
