"Fact" daily writes: The other day, Nikol Pashinyan announced with great pride that he had about 150 million views in one month, and more precisely, 148 million 800 thousand.
Is it too much or too little? It is difficult to assess, because it is clear that not only in Armenia, but also in the whole world, they will watch with great interest how the leader of any country eats on air, they will also follow the challenge of writing the word "shut up" or "contempt" (especially since on one occasion he wrote "I consider" wrongly).
It is clear that many will laugh, many will feel "Spanish shame", many, to put it mildly, will not express themselves particularly well, but will look. So views are natural. The question is, how normal is it when the only thing a head of state is proud of is the views of viral videos on social media?
Nevertheless, in order to measure the mentioned number in some way, we studied, for example, the views of the "Armenia" bloc's event held on March 16. It turned out that during the past 4 days, full videos about the event were viewed about 524 thousand times, and short clips ("reels") - 13 million 727 thousand times.
Moreover, we should note that it is technically not possible to consider all platforms and media, so we studied the most basic ones. Are these numbers comparable? Probably yes.
6:00 Paused Are these numbers comparable? Hardly. Because in one case we're dealing with purely Tiktok logic of interest, how people will watch a show, but those views are unlikely to influence the election in any way. On the other hand, we are dealing with just a measure of political power, where clear plans were presented, there was something to be said.
In other words, the fact that our public has shown such interest in this political event speaks of the fact that there is anticipation, interest, and activity, and the efforts of the authorities to instill apathy among the public do not bring any benefit. This may also indicate that the participation in the upcoming elections will be quite high, which is not beneficial to the authorities.
