All Oilers social media have gained followers since signing Bowman.


All Oilers social media have grown in followers since signing Bowman.

I found this interesting and gives you a good insight into how social media does not give you an accurate representation of the population.

You’d think with this thread being filled with “boycott the oilers”, “unfollowed the Oilers”, “never supporting them again”. You’d see a large decline in followers and support. So I decided to check and noticed that in the last four days.

Instagram followers +658
Twitter followers +240
YouTube subscribers +88

  1. Just proves at minimum half of the people Crying saying im not watching next season are full of shit. just posting for clicks and upvotes lmaooo

  2. People (and bots) also follow accounts they hate. Wouldn’t read anything in to it.

  3. This just shows how tiny Reddit is – lots of posts saying how ‘all Oilers fans’ are pushing back (even though not even all on Reddit) when Reddit is 10% the size for Oilers fans when compared to Twitter and Instagram (I don’t know Facebook numbers since I don’t use it).

    Especially for Oilers fans Reddit opinion is pretty much the polar opposite of the general consensus.

  4. Consumer boycotts don’t work. Like ever. You can count on one hand the amount of times they have. Any boycott you want to quote me that was successful is the exception that proves the rule.

    We seem to be moving beyond companies reacting to social media pressure as well. They are much less worried about it. Corporations have come to learn how much power they hold through brand loyalty and lack of competition.

    Musks’ acquisition of Twitter and the fact it has turned into an even more toxic hellscape has actually reduced its influence and power it once had in being able to ‘scare’ corporations (I suspect that was one of his goals).

  5. Probably a bunch of haters following to watch the tire fire this organization has become hiring scumbags.
