It does. If all you do is tap on a post then immediately hit back you’re not really engaging with the platform. But I’m sure they’ll still count you as an active user.

The meaningful stats would be number of posts seen, engaged with, and number of posts the user made themselves.

Does Google do that for advertising? I always wonder if my little game of hitting SKIP ASAP shows up as a valid engagement or a user-bailed or something.

And the ads, I can't skip, I hate those MFers.

		They have a general metric for it: > An ad is counted as viewable if at least 50% of its area is visible for at least 1 second for display ads, or at least 2 seconds for video ads. https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7029393?hl=en

It certainly matters as a bellwether for future traction.
