Do you guys know specific definition for views and what is the difference between views vs impression?
This is the chatgpt response to my question.
  • Who counts as a viewer?
    • Anyone who scrolls past your tweet in their feed.
    • Someone who views your tweet on your profile.
    • People who see your tweet embedded on a website or in an app.
    • If your tweet is retweeted or quoted, the impressions from those retweets and quotes are also counted.
  • What doesn’t count?
    • Views from the account that posted the tweet (your own views don’t add to the count).
    • Views from bots or automated systems (Twitter uses algorithms to filter out non-human impressions).
 
Well, you could say that views are the number of times a user actually looked at your tweet unique page, while impressions are the number of times your tweet was displayed to someone in any other format (feed, embedded, retweet etc.)
 
Unless Twitter specifically highlights what counts as view or impressions on an official capacity, most of what we have are educated guesses. Doubly so for GPT, but it is good to have some data to work with.
 
View is the number of times your tweet has been displayed on a user’s screen, whether or not they interact with it. It could be on timelines, profiles, searches, retweets, quotes, or embedded.
