Likes and shares give us a reference for that.

The problem with twitter is that it's 240 characters of 'whatever' and that's not enough to arrive at any truth.

It's usually an emotional loaded de-contextualized statement and that's that.

It doesn’t give us a reference for who dislikes. Or who is ambivalent. It just lets us know who liked and shared.
