Any sense on if the Twitter engagement is real people?

I worry with a profit motivated place like that that they're incentivized to trick me, to make me feel like it's a more vibrant place than it is in reality.

A lot of them are people I know in real life. And others are respected / “well known” members of the community who have significant contributions outside of twitter. Can’t tell if the 300 likes are all legit on a post with 300 likes. But I am fairly certain about 100 of those are because I genuinely know the people behind the account.
