Late night fun “why is my score x?”

In this case - why is my score 27% Satisfactory?

First thing:

I’m guessing by the fact you only have 22 spouts you aren’t familiar with what it’s actually looking at

It is not a judgement of character

It’s asking the question: “how likely is it that this accounts behaviour can be explained by it being an inauthentic account”?

In this case? Not likely!

We know that all scores under 50% is just regular boring human behaviour

We also know that when you have barely any spouts, anything that increases a score will have a bigger effect.

In this case you only have 22 spouts. You’re giving the algorithm nothing

So you have a tiny sample size spread out over months and a score that is boring and not a concern at all, why is it what it is?

It’s simple

8 out of 22 spouts are posting a GIF with no other comment

Does this mean doing this is bad?

Nope

Scores don’t mean you’re bad

Actions that increase scores aren’t bad

It’s not a value judgment

Could you make a bot to just post gifs? Hell yeah.
And since there is no additional comment from you on them it could just be a bot

Does it mean don’t do that?

Nope

It means that based on what the algorithm saw on Twitter, it’s a behaviour that inauthentic accounts tended to do. That’s it.

It’s not a big deal

Scores can’t get you in trouble

Literally no one is bothered by a 27%. It’s nothing.

What should you do?

Post more. Be here more. Give us your thoughts. Participate.

But really, do nothing because the score is fine and boring and doesn’t mean anything at all

As I said, it’s not a value judgment- it’s a tool to help users be aware of possible inauthentic accounts and your score says “oh look a human being”

So good to have you back and asking questions

In response to aaron.
Your explanation of the Bot Sentinel scores is always so entertaining. I appreciate you taking up the mantle to explain it to our fellow spouters whenever they have questions. 🙌🏾
