There is a good reason they hid the tweet count, because most of the biggest names on twitter actually have Tweet counts that if you divide them by hours since their join date it would be as high as 0.8 to 1.2 tweets an hour every hour 24 hours a day for 11 years+

Once you learn this it puts those users in a very different perspective and they no longer seem like people you should be listening to.

1 tweet per hour is 3.5KB/day, or about 1.5 pages of text. It's not a lot of content. Tweets are small.

you're ignoring the time required to find things to respond to and just how many times they're scrolling that timeline a day to hit numbers so high for 11+ years.

I would say 1,5 pages of text each day of year is pretty respectable output. Or at least would be with most other mediums. Like if all that effort was used on something else it could be 1-2 books a year?
