As I understand it both Twitter & Facebook juice their engagement numbers HEAVILY. Key diff (as it's been explained to me) is that Twitter gives (gave?) people info they could use to figure out it's bullshit, while Facebook actively hides that from you. (Josh Marshal from Talking Points Memo has been particularly vocal about that w.r.t. video.)

I.e. not that twitter's better as such, just that they bullshit more by omission than outright lies.
