Examing Twitter Likes

Getting to know a person through their Twitter likes

Twitter has become an integral part of our daily lives. We use it to share our thoughts, connect with others, and stay informed about current events. But have you ever wondered what your Twitter likes say about you?

Twitter likes, also known as "favorites," are a way for users to save tweets that they find interesting or useful. They can also be used as a way to show support or agreement with a tweet. However, by looking at someone's Twitter likes, one can infer a lot about a person's interests, beliefs, and even personality.

For example, if a person frequently likes tweets about a certain political party or candidate, it can be inferred that they support that party or candidate. Similarly, if a person frequently likes tweets about a certain topic, such as climate change or veganism, it can be inferred that they are interested in or care about that topic.

It's important to note that while Twitter likes can provide insight into a person's interests and beliefs, they should not be used as a definitive measure of a person's character or identity. People's opinions and interests can change over time, and Twitter likes may not always reflect a person's true beliefs or actions.

Let's take a look at Jeff Ainsworth. Jeff recently posted that I am a fraud.

So we know we have a general sense of his politics. If one was trying to extract information from him over the phone, it would be a good idea to become likeable to Jeff. You can do this by matching his political beliefs. Let's see what else we can find.

There are numerous pictures like this he seems to like. The first one I added some blurs as there's partial nudity.

So just by spending about 10 minutes looking at Jeff Ainsworth's Twitter likes, we know that his politics is very right wing orientated and he likes very young looking near naked women. If you were investigating Jeff, perhaps a young sounding woman that can play the part of a right wing conservative would be best to extract information.

In conclusion, while investigating people by looking at their Twitter likes can provide insight into their interests and beliefs, it should not be considered as a definitive measure of a person's character or identity. It is also important to consider the context of the tweets that are liked.
