Got no logic to back this statement up; However, It maybe worth looking into if the other platform uses this as a strategy to fear users from switching when they noticed a huge drop in account numbers. :/

@Gargron This is particularly sad for me as this huge difference could happen without the help of a recommender system. I always thought that ok, there is human behavior but we also need ML to magnify it so much. However, it was blown here quite well without it.

@gerazo No, I meant tweet when I said tweet. The misinformation and my response I'm talking about are on Twitter.

@Gargron Ohh, thanks. That sound much better! In this case, it was just the normal way of a recommender blowing up stuff. I wonder how big the original human response could be. I have a feeling that is not even necessary larger: it is just comes earlier because we are motivated to click on more dangerous, cognitially more challenging things first before the convenient reassurance.

@Gargron And now you see how misinformation works. People like to be offended more than they like to know the truth.
